WCMS golf ends season

The Pioneer and Lady Pioneer middle school golfers wrapped up their regular season last week with three road matches.

On Monday, the Pioneers came up short at Smithville, losing to DeKalb County 221-196. Parker Lynn’s 52 was the low WCMS round of the day, while Eric Cantrell had a 55, Tyler Phillips shot a 54 and Tucker Lynn had a 60. The Saints’ Ethan Roller carded a 43 to lead his team to victory.

The Lady Pioneers fell by 20 shots, as Mallory Sullivan’s 46 led DCMS to a team total of 103. Ivie Mullican’s 61 led the Lady Pioneers’ team score of 123, while both Holly Morgan and Rylan Curtis had scores of 62. Only the top two out of three scores make up the girls’ team total.

On May 1, WCMS took on Cumberland County, with the girls scoring a default victory while the boys were topped by 50 shots.

Cumberland County’s girls had just one golfer, meaning the Lady Pioneers scored a win behind Karaline Deaton’s 64 and Mullican’s 67. On the boys’ side, All four of the home team’s players shot in the 40’s, as they had a team total of 177. Parker Lynn’s 48 led the WCMS boys, who had a 227.

In a three-team match at White Plains on April 29, the Pioneers defeated both Baxter and Algood, shooting a 216. Their total was paced by a 49 by Robbie McCollough, 54’s from both Parker Lynn and Tyler Phillips and a 59 by Tucker Lynn. Baxter came up just short with a 217, while Algood had a 223.

The girls finished just behind Algood’s 115 and Baxter’s 116, whooting a 125 thanks to Deaton’s 61 and Shelby Newman’s 64.

WCMS was scheduled to participate in its regional tournament Thursday at Lake Tansi.
