Massimo Mbetse fired a 3-under 69 to lead Saint Stephen’s (299) to the Region A-6 boys golf championship Monday at The Verandah’s Old Orange course.
David Gao and David Hu contributed 74s for the Falcons while Ryan Kinkhead added a 77.
Community School of Naples had a rough start to the tournament, shooting 13-over through the first four holes.
The Seahawks needed a spark and got it when Harrison Ornstein birdied three holes in a row to close out the front nine. He shifted the momentum for his team and CSN rallied to go 10-over during the last 13 holes, including 4-under on the last five holes of the front nine, to edge Bishop Verot 311-312 for region runner-up honors and a trip to state next week.
