East Union bounced back from its first Valley Oak League loss of the season on Tuesday, but head coach Dennis Wells said his team is “going backwards” after it knocked off Sierra 212-246 at Manteca Park Golf Course on Tuesday.
On Monday, the Lancers (8-1) missed an opportunity to upset Central Catholic but lost 205-216. Michael Lozano and Trevor Baum paced them for a second straight day, carding a 38 and 39, respectively, on the Manteca Park Golf Course front nine.
“Real disappointed with the scores today,” Wells said. “Trevor and Michael have been playing real well, but the last few rounds the rest of our guys haven’t been playing up to their potential. We have three days to work on that.”
Ezra Lendhart’s 44 and Manuel Telles’ 45 were still better than Sierra’s lowest scorer. Clayton Dorland rounded out East Union’s total with a 46.
David Ketner led the Timberwolves with a 46 and was followed by Evan Brazell (47), Dillon St. Claire (53), Antonio Samson (54) and Jackie Thai (55).
