Broome and Cioe lead State Am qualifiers

Qualifying for the State Amateur today turned into a showcase for current and former Barrington High players.

Barrington grads were medalists at both North Kingstown and Swansea, the two sites used. Matt Broome, who graduated last year, put together an outstanding 5-under 67 for the best score of the day. Broome, who just finished his freshman year at Furman, did that at Swansea. Kirkbrae’s Matt Fattore was second there with a 71.

Other qualifiers at Swansea included Jared Adams, Jeff Ray, Eddie Hjerpe, all Barrington High stars. It took a score of eight-over to advance to next month’s Amateur at Agawam Hunt.

It took the same eight-over total to move on at North Kingstown. There, Barrington players from a previous generation excelled. Cioe, who was an Eagle four decades ago, led the way with his 72. Ed Kennedy and Tim Smith of Potowomut and Jay Barrow of Exter, tied for second at 73. Those who advanced included Cioe’s former Barrington teammate, Pat Monti, who had a 74.

In all, 45 players advanced at North Kingstown and 41 at Swansea. They will join the 45 exempt players at Agwam.
