“Overall, it was a very good day of golf for golfers from all across our area,” said varsity golf coach, Greg Lane. “Seeing this many young men and women playing the game is encouraging. The good Lord held off the weather till the very end and everyone completed their rounds. As for Sylacauga teams we saw an improvement in our boys team scores as we are a young team with a lot of room to improve. The ladies coming in second was a great job as all of their scores are improving also. I look forward to the rest of the season as we will be hosting the first round of state playoffs for both the boys and the girls at the end of April.”
