Portland Canovali’s Hole-In-One Not Enough In Loss To Pine-Richland
The North Allegheny boys’ golf team dropped a section contest against Pine-Richland on Tuesday afternoon by a 191-210 final score. The Tigers battled through wet conditions, along with difficult rough, but could not navigate the course to victory.
Senior Scott Fitzgerald was the team leader for North Allegheny with a 4-over par 39. Pine-Richland was paced by Nick Piper’s 35.
