Golf team gearing up for district

The boys District 7-AAA golf tournament will be held next Monday in Murfreesboro at Old Fort Golf Course.

Five Pioneer players will represent Warren County High School in the district tournament — Andrew Brock, Alex Self, Cody Durham, Grant Bullen and Brandon Hodges.

First-year head coach Hank Patton said the Cookeville Cavaliers and Riverdale Warriors are the teams to beat Monday.

“Tullahoma is the top team in our region, and in my opinion Cookeville and Riverdale are the top two teams in this district, with us coming in just behind them.”

Brock, who is a junior for the Pioneers, had his best finish of the season when he tied for first at the Brentwood Invitational. He finished third in the McMinnville CEO Roundtable tournament and tied for sixth at the Cookeville Invitational. Bullen tied for eighth at Brentwood as the team finished second in Cookeville and fourth in Brentwood.

On the season the Pioneers have been averaging a combined score of 318.

In recent action Brock tied for low score with a 36 against Tullahoma. Warren County carded a 166, while Tullahoma turned in a 146.

For the Lady Pioneers Tori Ritz posted a 44, while Tia Curtis carded a 63 against the Lady Wildcats. Tullahoma turned in a 83, while the Lady Pioneers had a 107.

Ritz’s best finish of the season came in the Murfreesboro Invitational, when she brought home first place.
