Tell City golf edges Evansville Christian 165-169 in road win

Andrew’s 30 gave Tell City the low round it needed, and the Marksmen held off Evansville Christian 165-169 in a road boys golf matchup at Evansville Christian School in Newburgh.

Tell City’s athletics account said the win came behind Andrew’s 30 and a 44 from a teammate, with the rest of the lineup doing enough to keep the four-stroke margin intact. In golf, that kind of balance matters as much as the front-runner, and Tell City showed it could get scoring from more than one place when the match tightened.

The contest was scheduled for April 23, 2026, as a boys varsity road event at Evansville Christian School, 10644 Lincoln Avenue in Newburgh. For Tell City Jr.-Sr. High School, 900 12th Street in Tell City, the trip carried more weight than a simple midseason ride across southern Indiana. Evansville Christian is listed in the Indiana High School Athletic Association’s 2025-26 boys golf sectional field at Evansville, which puts this regular-season result into a larger postseason frame.

That matters for a Tell City team trying to build toward the end of the spring. The Marksmen’s April slate also included matches against Springs Valley, Boonville/Gibson Southern and South Spencer, giving the roster a steady run of area competition before tournament play begins.

The narrow win suggested two things at once: Tell City has enough depth to survive an off number in the lineup, and the top end can still separate the team when the scorecard tightens. Andrew’s 30 set the tone, but the final margin showed the value of the supporting scores that followed.

With the sectional path still ahead and the IHSAA state tournament series set for June 4 through June 17, every regular-season result now carries more relevance. For Tell City, a 165-169 road win over Evansville Christian was more than a single mark in the standings; it was a reminder that the Marksmen can travel, score and win close.
