The remaining schools in the top five were Cabell Midland A, Hurricane, Morgantown and Wheeling Park.

“We had absolutely perfect course conditions, by far the best we’ve had in years, thanks to Superintendent Pat Maher and his crew,” said Parkersburg’s Head Golf Professional Adam Chesnut. “It’s always fun for us to promote junior golf, especially at Larry Martin’s home course. We’re passionate about this.”
