Pioneer golfers take second at Cookeville tourney
The Pioneer golf team prevailed in sudden death Monday afternoon, taking second place at the Cookeville High School Invitational tournament.
Finishing three strokes behind the tournament champs from Riverdale, Warren County’s boys found themselves deadlocked with the host Cavaliers, and went back out onto the Cookeville Golf Club course to settle the battle for the runner-up spot in the 16-team field.
Andrew Brock led the way for WCHS, carding a 72 which was good enough to tie for sixth place individually.
Other scores contributing to the Pioneers’ team total came from Alex Self and Cody Durham, who each turned in a 77, and Grant Bullen, who came in with a 78.
On the ladies’ side, Tori Ritz was Warren County’s lone representative, competing as an individual on Monday. Despite a lack of teammates to help her along the way, the senior fired a score of 82, taking seventh place in the field.
The Pioneers and Lady Pioneers are scheduled to return to the links today, opening their home season at McMinnville Country Club against White County. The match is scheduled to begin at 3:30 p.m.
