Coffee County Golf Completes Record Breaking Season on Wednesday

Excessive rains and unplayable conditions at Willowbrook on Wednesday forced the cancellation of the final round of the TSSAA State Tournament.  Per TSSAA rules, the final results of the tournament revert back to the last completed 18-hole round which was completed on Tuesday.  The Coffee County Red Raiders got a pair of historic finishes as they captured a 3^rd place team finish and Austin Farris medaled as an individual as he finished in 3^rd place.

As a team, the Raiders fired a 1^st day score of 309.  The Raiders finished behind 1^st place Science Hill who fired a 291 and Farragut who shot a 304.  The Red Raiders finish their historic season with a record of 80 and 7.    The 3^rd place team and 3^rd place individual finishes are the best in Red Raider golf history for the state tournament.

Individually, senior Austin Farris had 2 birdies on Tuesday as he finished with an even par score of 72.  Fellow senior Samuel Prater also had a pair of birdies as he carded a 76 to finish in 16^th place individually.  Senior Matthew Hale finished his round with 2 birdies and a score of 78 as he came in 26^th place.  Senior Josh Perry shot an 83 and freshman Logan Hale finished with a 95 to round out the Raiders scoring.
