CHS senior golfer Savannah Quick strikes a putt on the 17th hole at Lakewood on Thursday.
The CHS Red Raider and Lady Raider golf teams battled a full field of teams, scorching hot temperatures and a tough Lakewood County Club course to capture a pair of top 5 finishes on Thursday as part of the Tullahoma preseason tournament. Samuel Prater and Savannah Quick each shot 3 over par scores of 75 to lead their respective teams. The Lady Raiders finished in 3rd place while the boys came in 5th.
Senior Savannah Quick’s 75 was low enough to give her first place among the ladies. Quick shot an impressive 1 over par 37 on the back 9. Fellow senior Sophie Vinson shot an 83 to give the Lady Raiders a team score of 158. That score was good enough to capture 3rd place in the talented field of teams.
