Uniontown needed a victory Wednesday over visiting Elizabeth-Forward to keep its playoff hopes alive, and the Red Raiders did just that at Duck Hollow Golf Club with a 200-210 Division I, Section 2 victory.

Uniontown (9-3) improves to 7-3 in the section with two matches remaining, today on the road at Pleasant Valley Country Club against Connellsville and the season finale on Monday against Laurel Highlands.

Elizabeth-Forward slips to 6-4 in the section, and split the season series with the Red Raiders.

The No. 5-6 foursome went out first and the Red Raiders held a slim two-shot lead. Uniontown’s Joe Carpeal shot a 43, while John Voyten’s 45 wasn’t used. Dane Dempski’s 45 was used for the Warriors, and Mark Simon’s 47 was thrown out.

Uniontown’s No. 3-4 combination of Callahan Abel and Tyler Frazee combined for an 82, and the Warriors’ pair of Mike Ragan and Gage Rebarchak shot 83.

Leading by three strokes, Luke Wallace had the medalist round of the day with a 1-over 36. Josh Nelson, the Red Raiders’ No.2, finished with a 39. The Warriors’ Shane Reitz and Troy Maley both shot 41.

“Elizabeth-Forward struggled on the greens. The greens were slower,” said Uniontown coach Aaron Scott. “The scores could’ve been better. Josh (Nelson) and Callahan (Abel) both hit a shot OB (out-of-bounds), and Luke (Wallace) had three lip-outs.

“We knew No. 1-2 had the lead, and the sealed the deal for us.”
