Red Lion Christian, Sussex Academy players lead All-State high school golf teams
Red Lion Christian’s Evan Barbin is the Boys Player of the Year and Sussex Academy’s Sarah Lydic is the Girls Player of the Year on the All-State golf teams recently released by the Delaware High School Golf Coaches Association.
The teams were determined by the lowest USGA handicaps derived from scores posted from high school matches during the regular season.
Barbin finished second among boys in the recent DIAA Golf Tournament, while Lydic tied for third among girls.
Both DIAA individual champions – Matt Homer of Tatnall and Hannah Lydic of Sussex Academy – were also among the All-State first-team players.
Joining Barbin and Homer on the boys first team were Jeff Homer of Tatnall, Drew Clark of Archmere, Anthony Ciconte of Tatnall and Jack Homer of Tatnall.
