Undermanned Trojan boys just miss advancing

It was a sectional field Turkey Valley coach John Reicks thought his team could have qualified in, had they been able to play with their top two golfers.
But when Simon Schmitt’s old basketball knee injury caused him to fail a physical therapy strength test, the top Trojan golfer was out.
