SHS Senior Jordan Gilkison recently won the State Championship in Division-I Boys Golf, which took place at the Ohio State Scarlet Course. Gilkison birdied on 18 to close out the season, and ended up winning by three shots with a second-round even-par 71.
“I don’t know if I can describe it in words,” Gilkison said. “Something I’ve worked for my whole life and I’m just glad I was able to pull through.” Gilkison tied for fifth last year in the State Tournament and entered this year's final round in third place, two shots off the lead. However, Gilkison was the most consistent player of the weekend with a 72 and 71 for a 1-over-par 143 total.
Coach Justin Martin said, “The only thing I told (Jordan) was after he made that birdie putt on 18: ‘You’re a state champ.’”
