One of the items on Mason Wilson’s checklist has been accomplished, as he took the District Championship late last week and punched his ticket to the Regional Championship, which will take place on Sept. 30 at the Country Club in Morristown. Wilson, who shot a 73, still saw room for improvement.
“I was fortunate to keep the ball in play for 18 holes at the District Tournament. It definitely wasn’t my best round, but I am happy with the win,” Wilson shared.
Ezra Tolley of Hampton also earned a spot in regionals by shooting a strong round of 76 and taking third overall. University High took overall team honors, while South Greene finished second.
For the girls, Happy Valley’s Cayden Anderson took third overall with a score of 93, which punches her ticket to regionals. The Lady Warriors team finished third overall, meaning Grace Hollifield will also participate in regionals. Chuckey-Doak took both team and individual honors on the girls’ side, with Layla Fox shooting a 77.
