NEW CONCORD — Of the truisms in life, few are more consistent than John Glenn winning golf matches at home.

The Muskies have been piling up wins at Wildfire like stacks of firewood, a run of domination that stretches some three decades and a litany of Muskingum Valley League titles.

Even with their biggest competitors on hand on Thursday, nothing figures to change anytime soon.

Underclassmen Noah Dever and C.J. Dolan shared medalist honors with 1-under-par 35s and junior Owen Van Fossen shot 36 as the Muskies fired a 144 and rolled to dual wins against Maysville and Sheridan on the back nine.

Owen Lutz shot 38 and Connor Larimer and Hoyt Dodson had 40 for Maysville, which had 160. Mat Harper had 42. Sheridan totaled 168 behind Cooper Winders' 40, Blake Turnes 41, Aaron Saffell's 42 and a 45 from Reed Coconis.

Dolan, playing out of the No. 4 spot behind Van Fossen, Dever and lefty Braden Rice, who had 38, overcame an opening double bogey to play the final eight holes 3-under.

He needed just 13 putts — six holes ended in one-putts, including four that netted birdies. It was an example of the youthful depth that coach Chad Orecchio has at his disposal as his team chases another league title.

"Obviously, C.J. bounced back and played as well as he has played all year," Orecchio said. "We just kind of put it all together today, which is what we have been waiting for all year."

John Glenn stayed unbeaten in the MVL at 21-0 and extended its lead over the Panthers, who shot 160, to three matches with the MVL Tournament set for Sept. 23. Sheridan, which had 168, is now 14-5.

Orecchio said his team had plenty of motivation and "was excited to play today."

"It was great competition," Orecchio said. "It's great for our league when you have good teams playing against each other like this. It makes the league better.

"That's why we were excited to play with Maysville at the MVL preseason (tournament)," Orecchio said. "Those guys are good. So is Sheridan. That had a sectional feel to it. Competition is amazing."

John Glenn's score was shy of the school record for nine holes. It still matched the score the 2014 team shot against Philo on the back nine at Wildfire in 2014. That Muskie team, led by Jordan Wheeler and Dylan Van Fossen, eventually placed fourth in Division II.

This one, in Division I by just three boys, is one of the smallest in in the division. It will face a postseason gauntlet against many of the state's top big school teams from Central Ohio.

"We don't have any seniors," Orecchio said. "If we can make the district as a team, I think that would be a great accomplishment."

Maysville and Sheridan, meanwhile, have no such issues. Both are in Division II and hope to challenge for a state tournament berths, with Sheridan hoping to grab one of two spots in the Southeast and Maysville the only bid in the East.

Neither task figures to be enviable.

"We haven't hit our peak," Coconis said, adding the team has grown closer in recent weeks. "We have six guys who could be medalist any given night. When we get to the postseason we could make a run, because we have six dudes who that can shoot 80. That's what you need in the tournament."

He lamented one of his rare off days this season — he had 37 on Tuesday at Perry Country Club — but acknowledged it likely wouldn't have mattered regardless, given the Muskies' stellar play.

"Their whole team can play," Coconis said. "That's a hell of a score. You can tell they are prepared. Coach Orecchio does a great job. Every year he has their team ready to go."
