Freeport's boys golfers are back in the WPIAL team finals for the first time since 1994.

The Yellowjackets finished second in their Class AA semifinal tournament Tuesday at Indian Run Golf Course in Avella by posting a 418. Burgettstown won with a score of 417.

“It's awesome for them,” Freeport coach Joe Sprumont said. “They've had such a good year, and they are a part of the school's history now.”

Senior Robbie Miller and freshman Audrey Clawson led Freeport with 18-hole scores of 79. Junior Cole Hepler followed with an 84, and seniors Richard VanDruff and Luke Mariotti each carded 88s.

The top three teams advanced to the finals, set for Thursday at Cedarbrook Golf Course near Belle Vernon.
