Center Grove finished third in the boys state golf finals June 14 and 15 at Prairie View Golf Club in Carmel.
The Trojans, led by runner-up medalist Noah Gillard, fired a team total of 592 strokes, seven behind runner-up Hamilton Southeastern and 11 behind state champion Westfield.
Gillard, a sophomore, shot a 70-69 – 139 and trailed medalist Cedric McAree of Hamilton Southeastern by only two strokes over the rain-interrupted 72-hole state finals. Gillard was 3 under par June 15. His 69 included three birdies and no bogeys on a consistent final day. McAree tied the course record with an opening-round 65.

Perry Meridian junior Nick Osterburg fired 1-under 71s each day to finish in a fourth-place tie with Westfield senior Thomas Lewis.
Osterburg was the medalist at the Providence Regional with a 35-35 – 70 on the Champions Pointe golf course June 10 in Henryville and at the Southport Regional with a 33-34 – 67 on The Legends Golf Course June 3 in Franklin.
