Leopards’ Mocello, Lady Falcons’ Rohland top local leaderboard
The individual postseason wasn’t kind to Belle VernonÄ¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Jordan Mocello, but the Leopard seniorÄ¢¹½ÊÓÆµ body of work was enough to earn the title as Player of the Year for the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ All-Area Boys Golf Team.

Mocello shot a three-under-par 69 under a torrential downpour in his final high school competition in the team semifinal. Mocello was the lone golfer to finish under par.
