Dramatic matches followed Nauset during Week 5 of the boys high school golf season.
Friday’s showdown at Martha’s Vineyard provided another and it once again left Nauset reeling just one day after it fell to Sandwich by a single shot.
Martha’s Vineyard stayed in the hunt for a piece of the Cape and Islands League Atlantic Division regular season championship on the back of a three-shot victory over Nauset, which came down to the seventh score.
Shane Harding and Chander Blau each carded a five-over 41, while Jacoby Light and Peter Williamson posted six-over 42s for Martha’s Vineyard. Jake Gatchell and Ben Kokoszka matched one another with 43s. Gusto Martone’s 46 proved to be the difference in after the two teams were tied at 252 at Vineyard Golf Club.
Oliver Smith earned medalist honors with a two-over 38, while Owen Everson (39) was the only other Nauset golfer to post a sub-40 round. Jacob Campbell and Hudson Cole each shot 42. Mac Heinz (45) and Blake Silvestri (46) each factored into the scoring, but Jack Pavlu’s 49 fell three strokes short of Martha’s Vineyard’s seventh score.
