Childers Boyd’s first region golf qualifier

For the first time in the team’s history, a member of the Boyd Christian School golf squad has qualified for region competition.

Dillon Childers carded an 87 last week, when the Broncos Boyd golf played in District 11-A/AA tournament Monday at the Henry Horton Golf Club in Chapel Hill.

Although the Broncos failed to advance as a team, Childers made the region field as one of the top five qualifiers which weren’t part of the top three teams in the 12-team field. He finished in eighth place in the overall individual scoring.

Marshall County took the overall team title, shooting a team score of 307 and winning by 49 strokes. Also moving on to this week’s region were the teams from Forrest and Page High Schools.

The region tournament is scheduled for Monday at 9 a.m. at Lewisburg’s Saddle Creek Golf Course.
