The long days, coupled with searing heat and humidity, meant the champion wouldn't so much be a winner as he'd be a survivor.
On Tuesday, that survivor was Forjan, who outlasted a late comeback by Eastern York senior Zach Dixon to force an extra hole, winning in 19 holes to capture the match-play title at Hanover Country Club. On the girls' side, Eastern York's Alexandra Lowder held off Susquehannock's Kendel Abrams, 1 up, to win the girls' trophy.
"It's a little bit relieving after my finish that last round because I definitely doubted myself for a second," Forjan said. "I definitely played well enough to get here and get to where I was and I'm just really happy I won it."
