Becoming the 15th golf signee in the last 9 years, Coffee County senior golfer Savannah Quick inked a national letter of intent with Middle Tennessee State University on Thursday in a ceremony at CHS. Quick becomes the second ever Division 1 signee for Coffee County golf and the first since Hollee Sadler signed with Tennessee Tech in the class of 2015.
Coach Mike Ray was effusive in his praise for Quick pointing out the fact that Savannah is the only golfer in Coffee County history to compete in the state tournament all 4 years of her high school career. “MTSU is getting a great player, a great athlete and a great person” said Ray. He went on to add “Coffee County golf has become a successful program thanks to Savannah”
Quick narrowed her final decision to Lincoln Memorial and MTSU. The opportunity to play so close to home and with players she knows was the deciding factor for Quick. “I loved the campus and the courses they play on, plus it is very close to home.” “I also loved the coaches and my future teammates” added Quick. The MTSU Blue Raider golf team is coached by Chris Adams and competes in Conference USA.
