DeRoche, LaCoste excel in golf open<br />
By Anne Marie Tobin<br />
<strong>Lynnfield</strong> high senior George DeRoche finished tied<br />
for ninth place at the Cape Ann League Golf Open<br />
Thursday, Oct. 11 at Far Corner Golf Course in West<br />
Boxford.<br />
DeRoche was named CAL Kinney Division Co-<br />
Player of the Year, sharing the honor with Masconomet’s<br />
Will Roberts. He also earned CAL First Team All-Star<br />
honors.<br />
Fellow Pioneer, junior Jack LaCoste, also played<br />
well but finished just outside the top-<strong>10</strong> in 12th place<br />
with 45 points, earning a selection nod to the CAL<br />
Second Team.<br />
“Both Jack and George played well today,” said<br />
first-year coach Mike Moresco. “I was also quite proud<br />
of all our kids as they finished second for the team<br />
Sportsmanship Award.”<br />
The individual title came down to a two-man battle<br />
between Triton’s Connor Small, who won with 68<br />
points, and Hamilton-Wenham’s Aidan Daly, who finished<br />
runner-up with 64 points. The difference ultimately<br />
came down to a 3-under performance by Small<br />
on the back nine, who eagled the par-4 <strong>10</strong>th and birdied<br />
two of the last four holes to cap a 3-under 33 and post a<br />
tournament-best 42 points on the inward nine.<br />
The Cape Ann League is one of the few leagues<br />
in Massachusetts that utilizes that format for scoring<br />
matches. Players earn a point for a double bogey, two<br />
points for a bogey, four points for a par, six points for a<br />
birdie and eight points for an eagle.<br />
DeRoche struggled on the front nine, making only<br />
three pars and tallying 21 points. But he rallied with 28<br />
points on the back, scoring points on every hole. After<br />

George DeRoche, left, and Jack LaCoste finished<br />
ninth and 12th respectively at the Cape Ann League<br />
Golf Open at Far Corner C.G. last Thursday.<br />
four bogies and a par on the first five holes, he finished<br />
with four straight pars to punch his ticket to the all-star<br />
team.<br />
LaCoste also struggled on the outward nine, making<br />
just two pars and tallying only 17 points. But, like<br />
DeRoche, he scored 28 points on the back nine, parring<br />
six holes with a bogey and two doubles.<br />
“I got off to a rough start and had two triples on the<br />
5th and 6th holes, but other than a bogey here and there,<br />
I finished strong, so it was a pretty good round,” said<br />
LaCoste.<br />

“My round was pretty similar to Jack’s in that I<br />
played better on the back and finished strong with four<br />
straight pars,” DeRoche said. “I was happy to get a nice<br />
sand save on <strong>18</strong> when I blasted out to a couple of inches<br />
to save my par. It was nice way to finish and it felt really<br />
good to be named the co-Player of the Year for the<br />
League.”<br />
The Pioneers closed out the regular season Oct. 6 at<br />
the famed Myopia Hunt Club, where they took on the<br />
iron of the Cape Ann League, Baker Division champion<br />
Hamilton-Wenham, which came into the match undefeated<br />
at <strong>10</strong>-0.<br />
Regardless of how they fared against the Generals,<br />
the Pioneers will finish the season with their best record<br />
in at least the last six years.<br />
Next up for the Pioneers is a return trip back to Far<br />
Corner for the North Division 3 sectional tournament<br />
on Monday, Oct. 22 (9 a.m. shotgun start). The team<br />
will bring six players to the tournament with the lowest<br />
four scores counting. It will be the first time all season<br />
that the team will compete in an <strong>18</strong>-hole stroke play<br />
match.<br />
<strong>Lynnfield</strong> 153, Triton 149<br />
The Pioneers clinched sole possession of the CAL<br />
Kinney Division title the day before the CAL Open with<br />
a narrow 153-149 win over Triton at Sagamore Spring<br />
Golf Course. The title was the first for <strong>Lynnfield</strong> since<br />
2015 when the Pioneers finished in a three-way tie with<br />
Triton and North Reading.<br />
DeRoche led the way with 32 points.<br />
“Cole Giannasca’s 27 points and Bryan Mallett’s 26<br />
points really pushed us over the top,” said Moresco.<br />
With the win, <strong>Lynnfield</strong> improved to 9-1 overall in<br />
dual matches.<br />
