Golf: Dominion Takes Dulles Title; Tuscarora Clinches Regional Bid; Heritage's Douglass Outlasts Valley's Hildebrand in Marathon Low Medalist Playoff

Haymarket (Sept. 18, 2012) - It took nearly 12 hours of golf Tuesday at Bull Run Golf Course for the Dulles District to settle all accounts and when the damp grass was cleaned off the final clubs there was plenty of celebration to go around: Dominion High School added the tournament title to their regular-season crown; Tuscarora finished runner-up to clinch the school's first ever Region II trip; and Heritage's Ryan Douglass outlasted Loudoun Valley's Ian Hildebrand in a marathon 7-hole playoff to take low medalist.

Both Douglass and last year's district low medalist Hildebrand shot 72 in regulation and then went shot-for-shot for six playoff holes before Douglass finally gained the upper hand in the dying light on the 7th playoff hole. Defending AA state champion Sam Stilwell of Dominion shot 74 to finish third.

Dominion Titans had a title year in the Dulles District!

Also advancing to regionals as individuals: Nick Kovach of Woodgrove (75), Parker Graham  of Loudoun County (76), Zach Bolyard of Loudoun County (77) and Ryan O'Sullivan of Heritage (78).
