Cincinnati's Division I boys and girls will complete their districts at Heatherwoode on Oct. 5 and 6, respectively.

Division III boys district golf state qualifiers
Seven Hills shot a 331 at Heatherwoode, finishing as district runner-up by a stroke behind winner National Trail. The Stingers were led by senior Matia Kastner's 70, which made him the district medalist, three shots better than National Trail's Joshua Brubaker.
Kastner, who also won the 2025 district championship, will golf in his fourth state tournament and his third with Seven Hills qualifying as a team.
After Kastner and Brubaker on the individual board was Minster's Max Voisard, shooting a 76 for third overall and the first of two individual state qualifying finishes.
A four-way tie for fourth needed a three-hole playoff to decide the last qualifying spot. Cincinnati Country Day freshman Griffin Long won the playoff to advance to state.

The pair easily cleared the rest of the field with the third-place finisher, Houston's Delaney White, shooting an 81.
