Golf: Dominion Takes Control of Dulles District Race with Win at Cheers Invitational

Dominion is in the driver's seat for a repeat Dulles District title

Sam Stillwell led Titans Tues.

(Aug. 17, 2012) - The Dominion High School golf team took a big step Tuesday towards repeating as AA Dulles District regular-season champions with a big win at the Cheers Invitational at Algonkian.

The Titans, led by Sam Stillwell's 71 and Erik Dulik's 73, shot a team score of 298 to capture the event which featured all 13 of Loudoun's public high schools. AAA Stone Bridge was runner-up with 305 as Matt Ashley shot the low round for the day at 69.


The event served as the Dulles District's second mini tournament of the young season with the two tournaments making up two-thirds of the regular-season title race. The dual meets will comprise the final third.

Dominion finished runner-up at the first Dulles District mini behind Loudoun Valley but the Vikings took a tumble Tuesday, finishing in 6th place among the Dulles squads. That opened the door for Tuscarora, third in the first tournament and second among Dulles schools Tuesday, to move up in the district race behind the Titans.

Dominion essentially has a two-match lead heading into the bulk of the dual meet schedule. The race shapes up to be a two-school affair as Briar Woods and Loudoun Valley both are four matches back with nine dual meets total to figure in.
