Lakewood Ranch High's Hunter Sagar wins Bradenton men's am

27.01.12

At a deprecating time — on the final hole, nursing a one-guess lead but with his drive in the drink — Sagar and his caddie dad unconditional to get wet and try to win the event.

Sagar seemed almost scared as walked into a nasty drainage ditch up to his ankles, then hacked away at a immediate-sunken tee ball that had put his lead in jeopardy.

The ball came out – precisely barely – and Sagar fought to make bogey with a four-foot putt. In doing so, he salvaged a playoff.

But it wouldn’t be peaceful for Sagar at the 14th annual Bradenton men’s championship, held at River Run Golf Links and enjoyed by 93 players over the weekend.

In the hasty-death playoff, he faced off against veteran local inferior Steve Slocum, an East Manatee magazine kingpin who has a smooth swing and knows how to break par. He realized it only later, but Slocum could have won the tourney with an eight-foot eagle try on the final hole that he missed.

Valley men ready to surprise again

It's never plain to replace someone who's the caliber of an all-star.

The Lebanon Valley College men's basketball combine will tip off it's 2011-12 season Tuesday night in Annville, and this year it will do so without the talents of Anthony Trautman. The Lebanon grad is now an LVC alum and leaves behind a scoring middling of over 20 points per game from a season ago, a year in which he was named the Commonwealth Colloquy Player of the Year, earned a couple all-region honors and was an honorable impart Division III All-American.

But ready to help fill the void is postpositive major Joe Meehan, a 6-foot guard who is already collecting his share of honors this preseason, including All-America honors from d3hoops (subsequent team)
