AMBOY — The Amboy-LaMoille golf season came to a close after two individuals participated in the Rockford (Christian Life) Class 1A Sectional on Oct. 9 at Elliot Golf Course in Rockford.

Clipper linksters Caleb Sarff and Clayton Kemp participated in the sectional, but neither could card a score low enough to advance to the state tournament. Their scores were not available. Marcus Smith of Winnebago was the individual champion with a 68.
