Beecher 173, Dwight 202: Coming off a ninth-place team finish at state last season, the Bobcats got their 2025 season underway Thursday, hosting Dwight at Lincolnshire Country Club.

They cruised to a 29-stroke win over the Trojans thanks in part to a 37 from senior Peyton Serafin, who placed third individually at state last year. Junior Charlie Nowak was close behind Serafin with a 40 while senior Ben Anaclerio shot a 45 and freshman Jacob Benck shot a 51.
