The deepest roster he has had in two decades as Butler County Community College’s coach made it difficult, Bill Miller said, to select the six golfers who this week will contend for the program’s fourth conference championship in a row and 10th in the past 11 seasons.

“It was tough, very tough,” Miller said in a press release. “I wanted to take all eight. They have all given a great effort. All very deserving. But I can take only six.”

The Pioneers’ Jacob Marquardt, Xander Downing, Kaden Rentz, Mitchell Covert, Parker Worsley and Ben Perris have been picked to compete Thursday and Friday in the Western Pennsylvania Collegiate Conference championship at the Links at Spring Church in Apollo.

BC3 will face the Community College of Allegheny County, Pennsylvania Highlands Community College and Westmoreland County Community College in the 36-hole conference championship.

Only the four lowest scores from each golfer will be tallied. The team with the lowest score after two rounds will win the conference championship and the golfer with the lowest score, the conference individual title.

“Hopefully we bring our best effort and our best game,” said Miller, whose fall-season record is 48-1 since 2021.

Marquardt will be BC3’s No. 1 golfer in the championship, Miller said. The Seneca Valley High School graduate shot his lowest score of the fall with a 4-under-par 68 on Sept. 6 at North Park Golf Course.

Downing, the squad’s only sophomore, will be the Pioneers’ No. 2 golfer. The Butler High graduate’s best round this fall was a 2-over 74 on Sept. 23 at Lake Arthur Golf Club.

Taylor Voloch, a Moniteau product, will face Westmoreland County Community College’s Jada Ford for the conference’s women’s individual title.
