The Coffee County golf teams welcomed Shelbyville and Stewarts Creek to Willowbrook on Monday for their first home match of the year. Both teams shot exceptionally well on their home course as each team came away with wins in the 18 hole, three way match.
The Lady Raiders continued their early season dominance as they earned a sweep over the visitors. Ashley Gilliam had the low round for Coffee County as she shot a 1 over par 73. Savannah Quick added a 76 to give the Lady Raiders a team score of 149. Stewarts Creek finished at 176 and Shelbyville carded a 231. With the win, the Lady Raiders improved to 25-3 on the season.
The boys team picked up a pair of wins shooting 313 on the day. Stewarts Creek came in at 329 and Shelbyville had a score of 353. Senior John Parigger led the way shooting a 3 over par 75 to capture the low round on the day. Austin Farris added a 77, Reid Lawrence carded a 79 and Josh Perry got around in 83. With the win, the boys improve their record to 30–6 on the year.
After the match, Coach Mike Ray had this to say about his golfers’ performance.
As Coach Ray said, the Raiders and Lady Raiders are back in action on Tuesday when they travel to Sewanee to take on Grundy County in an 9 hole match at the Sewanee Golf Course. That match will tee off at 4 PM.
