Football boosters hit the links
Warren County High School’s football program held its second annual golf tournament Monday at the McMinnville Golf and Country Club, with 14 teams teeing off to support the Pioneers.
Prizes were awarded in two different flights, with the foursome of Brent Brock, Travis Barnes, Daniel Chisam and Jackie Matheny Jr. taking home first place in the championship flight.
They carded a 14-under par score of 58 to win the overall championship, besting the second place team of Lynn Carroll, Jerry Cathey, Bill Moffitt and Dennis Rose by one stroke.
In the first flight, the foursome of Jimmy Blankenship, Ken West, Syd Stewart and Jackie Haley came away with first place, finishing the course with a 9-under 63.
Bill Harris, Jim Carden, Tommy Crouch and David Harris finished second in the third flight after coming in with a 64 and winning a scorecard playoff. They were tied with two teams: Earl Hines, Rick Bond, Ramsey Black and Alan Lynn also came in at eight under, as did the foursome of Dale Stubblefield, Rob Nunley, Andy Jacobs and Ron Fryar.
Closest-to-the hole prizes were also awarded for the course’s four par-3 holes. Alan Lynn finished closest to the pin on No. 2, Ken West won on No. 7, Fred Davenport won on No. 14 and LaMaine Martin won on No. 17.
