Eagles Ball at Districts
Yesterday October 15th, the George Jenkins Eagles placed 2nd in the 2A District Tournament held at Bridgewater Golf Course. Bartow won by only 6 strokes but the Eagles still were able to qualify for the Regional Tournament which is held in Sebring next week. Case Guard was the low medalist of the tournament shooting a 76. The other Eagle team members were Dylan O'Neil who shot 80 and placed 6th in the tournament, Craig Rahman with an 81, Zach Sloman with a 92 and Austen Snodgrass with a 92. The low four scores were taken for a sum of 329 placing second and beating Lakeland High School by a big amount. This has not happened for the Eagles in a very long time. Coach Paul Weaver, stated that he was "Pleased with the results". He also stated that "It has been the most productive season in the last 10 years." If the Eagles place in the top 3 at Regionals next week, they will qualify for the State Tournament. Good Luck Eagles! --Zach Sloman, Senior Golf Editor--
