After all the rounds of golf this season, the State Class A golf championship at Natanis Golf Course on Saturday came down to a tiebreaker.
Gorham and Mt. Ararat finished tied atop the standings, with both teams scoring a 317 to put them five shots clear of third-place finisher Falmouth and six shots ahead of Scarborough.
It came down to a tiebreaker, and the Rams had the edge to capture the title, with the Eagles winding up in second after a season to remember for golf in Topsham.
“I can’t say they were totally disappointed because it was a tied situation,” said Mt. Ararat coach Gerry Caron. “They have accomplished a great deal this year and they know that. They worked hard all year and they are proud of what they did. I am proud of what they did.
“I’m sure they are disappointed, to come this far and have it come down to a tiebreaker, but it is the rule and we will live with it. We had a great day!”
Mt. Ararat freshman Caleb Manuel had the low round on the par-72 Tomahawk Course layout, shooting a 1-over 73, two strokes clear of Eagles teammate and senior Cam Cox (75). Cade Charron and Will Kavanaugh shot 84 and 85, respectively, and Steven Schuman had a 96.
For Gorham, the scores were a bit more consistent, with Ryan Kaczmarek leading the way with a 77, followed by Lucas Roop (79), Brandon Desjardin (80), Marc Yankowsky (81) and Cam Stevens (82).
Rounding out the top five in Class A was Greely (327).
Erskine Academy won the Class B title with a 317, while Maranacook captured the Class C championship with a 311.
The high school golf season concludes this upcoming Saturday back at Natanis with the State Individual Championship.
