Southmont boys golf wasn’t going to let history repeat itself. The Mounties remember how last year’s county meet went where they fell to Crawfordsville. That not only gave the Athenians the county title, but also their first county chase championship. Thursday on their home course at the Crawfordsville Country Club, Southmont got redemption by firing a 337 to re-gain the county crown. And just like a year ago, the county golf meet also decided whether the Athenians or Mounties would take home the coveted County Chase Trophy. With South’s win they earned their fourth overall Chase Title with 53 points to Cville’s 51.
