WCMS golfers fall in first home match

Micah Panter and teammate Clay Talbert both had scores of 51 to lead WCMS in its golf match Monday against Avery Trace.

Unfortunately for the Pioneers and Lady Pioneers, they came away from the match with a pair of losses, falling to their guests by 39 strokes in the boys? contest and by just eight on the girls? side of the ledger.

Rebekah Sweeton had the low score of the day for the Lady Pioneers, carding a 52 for her nine-hole round. Shelby Marttala turned in a 53, while Holly Morgan shot a 57 for a team total of 162. Genna Gallagher had a 66, however rules governing middle school girls golf dictate the lowest three individual scores are countered toward the team score.

For ATMS, Angela Dixon finished her round with a 48, while Megan Stoneapher had a 55 and Ali Knieling shot a 51 for a team total of 154.

The Pioneer boys were led by Micah Panter and Clay Talbert, who both finished their rounds with scores of 51. Cody Fults had a 52, while Michael Gallagher shot a 60 and Parker Lynn had a 63. David Craven?s 67 wasn?t counted toward the Pioneers? team tally of 277.
