McDERMOTT — The first true day of fall saw the top golfers in the Southern Ohio Conference compete in the SOC golf championships at the Elks Country Club.
With teams scores of 335 and 359, respectively, the Wheelersburg and South Webster boys golf teams claimed SOC Division II and I team victories over the field.
