The long days, coupled with searing heat and humidity, meant the champion wouldn't so much be a winner as he'd be a survivor.
  On Tuesday, that survivor was Forjan, who outlasted a late comeback by Eastern York senior Zach Dixon to force an extra hole, winning in 19 holes to capture the match-play title at Hanover Country Club. On the girls' side, Eastern York's Alexandra Lowder held off Susquehannock's Kendel Abrams, 1 up, to win the girls' trophy.
  "It's a little bit relieving after my finish that last round because I definitely doubted myself for a second," Forjan said. "I definitely played well enough to get here and get to where I was and I'm just really happy I won it."

  Joe Parrini helps lead York Catholic to YAIAA Division III match victory
  In three of the first four YAIAA Division III golf matches, York Catholic's Joe Parrini found himself just behind teammate Nick Geiman in the battle for low score.On Wednesday, the freshman topped his senior teammate as Parrini carded an even-par 71 for top honors. Geiman finished three strokes behind Parrini to help lead the Irish to another match title."I had a lot of pars," Parrini said. "I had two birdies and two bogies so a pretty uneventful round. Normally I am pretty consistent. I don't make a lot of birdies but I also don't make a lot of bogies. I drove the ball exceptionally well. I only missed a few fairways. Everything else was well rounded."
  Nick Geiman scored 74, Andrew Forjan 75, & Lauren Parrine 86.
