WCMS splits with Warriors

The Warren County Middle School golf team split a home match with Sparta Thursday, with the Pioneers downing the Warriors while the Lady Pioneers came up just short.

In boys play, Austin Fairchild dominated play on his home track, carding a 44 through nine holes to lead his WCMS teammates. Brett Patterson had a 47, Matt Jones had a 48, and Brandon Hodges, Slayden Rogers and Cody Adcock carded a 49 apiece. The low four individual scores were combined for the Pioneers’ team total of 188. Sparta’s boys finished with a team score of 212.

The Lady Pioneers were led by Lara Lynn Bullen, who shot a 53, and Lacy Pack, who had a 57. Tia Curtis carded a 60, Andrea Carden had a 63 and Megan Rhea had a 65. Warren County’s low three scores were combined for a 117, but weren’t enough to top the Warriorettes, who shot a 111.

WCMS was scheduled to take on Coffee County and Manchester Westwood Monday, but the match at Willowbrook was canceled due to rain.

The teams will be back at home on Friday, when they will take on Cookeville’s Avery Trace Middle School. The match is scheduled to begin at 3:30 p.m.
