BROOKVILLE GOLFERS WIN REGION

Appomattox High School's Faber Jamerson beat Northside's Brian Hill on the second hole of a sudden-death playoff to win the Region III golf championship Monday at Countryside.

Each player bogeyed the first hole after finishing even on the par-71, 6,028-yard course. Jamerson birdied No. 2 and Hill parred to finish second.

Defending state champion Ryan Ketron William Byrd finished third at 72.

Brookville, which tied for second at the Group AA tournament last year, won the region by three shots over defending state champion William Byrd.

Brookville and Byrd advance to the state tournament next week at Bowling Green Country Club in Front Royal.

Byrd's Chris Turner and Brookville's Wes Cothran and Ryan Ferguson, who finished in the top 10, go to state with their teams.

Other top 10 finishers headed to state include Lord Botetourt's Mark Sweeney, Bassett's Eric Pitches, Jefferson Forest's Brian Glass and Magna Vista's Dwayne Dodson.
