Gay, Gushee share title for second straight year

VASSALBORO – Ryan Gay of Gardiner and David Gushee of Gorham each shot a 2-over-par 74 Saturday to share the Class A golf individual state championship for the second straight year.

Gushee birdied the final hole on the Tomahawk Course at Natanis Golf Course to pull even with Gay, who had triple-bogeyed the hole. The two juniors may try to break the stalemate next year.
