WCHS golf to host tournament Tuesday
The Pioneers, who brought home an impressive victory at the Tennessee Jr. PGA High School Championships last week, will have their work cut out for them against a tough boys’ field.
All six of Rutherford County’s high school golf teams will be in attendance for Tuesday’s tournament, in Smyrna, Siegel, Oakland, Riverdale, La Vergne and Blackman.
Also scheduled to compete in the boys’ field are Brentwood High School, Cleveland, Farragut, Marshall County, Franklin County, Monterey and Shelbyville, as well as neighboring rivals Coffee County, Franklin County and Tullahoma and District 7-AAA foes Cookeville and White County.
The girls’ field will not be as large, but still features several top-ranked teams. Girls’ squads competing will be Brentwood, Coffee County, Farragut, Franklin County, Tullahoma, Monterey, Oakland and Riverdale.
Longtime WCHS golf coach Keith Maxwell said he’s looking forward to a lot of quality competition when the tournament tees off Tuesday at 8 a.m.
“It’s a big field, and there are some good teams coming,” he said. “This should be a good test for our teams, and we hope we can do well against them.”
