School Roundup: Holy mackerel! Another hole-in-one for Salem golf

Junior Peter Cavallaro accomplished a feat every golfer dreams of, and more often than not, never experiences.Cavallaro shot a hole-in-one on the 140-yard 8th hole while shooting a 39 for the course in Salem’s 233-271 victory over Saugus at Olde Salem Greens.”I was talking to a pretty good golfer of 45 years, and he’s never done it,” said Sachem coach Tom Doyle. “It’s very rare and very special. It’s very rare golfers of any level ever do it.”Saugus improved its record to 10-7-1, and the win qualifies the team for the state tournament with two regular-season matches still remaining.Sachems Beau Theriault was the match’s medalist, shooting a 36. Wes Koen finished second with a 37 and Harry Noone third with a 39.Cavallaro’s hole-in-one was the second by a Salem golfer in the last few weeks. Senior Owen Grover nailed a hole-in-one of his own while playing Gloucester.”I’ve coached for eight years and never seen it for us or against us,” Doyle said. “It’s pretty incredible it would happen to two guys on the same team within a few weeks of each other.”St. John’s 39, St. Mary’s 33At Gannon Golf Course, the Eagles (9-3) picked up wins in five spots. Bryan Cote of Lynn fared well on his home course, shooting a 34 and winning his match 5 1/2-3 1/2.
