Boyd High School took to the golf links for its first home match of the season Monday, competing in a three-team event with Mt. Juliet Christian and Monterey at the McMinnville Country Club.

The Broncos finished in the middle of the three-team field, topping Mt. Juliet, but coming up short against Monterey, which won the match with a team score of 184.

Boyd came in with a 211, led by Dillon Childers, who carded a 46 for his nine-hole round. Clint Patterson added a 51, Brandon Gray had a 56 and Brooks Palmer carded a 58.

The Broncos finished well ahead of Mt. Juliet Christian, which turned in a team total of 223.

• In Boyd’s season opener last week against Cannon County, the Broncos fell short, scoring a team total of 224 against the Lions’ 183.

Childers once again had the low round, shooting a 44 at Willowbrook Golf Course, while Palmer had a 54, Austin Cleek shot a 61 and Patterson scored a 65.

Boyd returns to action Tuesday at Monterey.
