Gary Finishes Tied for Fifth at Regionals Golf; Chamberlain Fails to Advance

Chamberlain Junior Gary and Riverview senior star Ian McConnell (committed to Liberty University Golf) were tied for the lead in the clubhouse with nice rounds of 76 at the tough Summerfield Crossings Golf Course. It is Ian's home course, the home course of his Riverview High Team, and he is the club champion. It must have been difficult as they waited more than two hours for the finish of other players knowing they had done their best and only time would tell the outcome. Word spread that Paul Demick of Wharton had played the front nine in two under 34 and Logan Hand of East Lake had shot 35.

In the end 76 was tied for fourth individual out of fifty players, but only the two low individual not on a team and the two low teams advance to the State finals. The low five scores of all players were 70, 73, 75, 76 and 76. The final advancing individual and team results were not available at the time of this writing but are available here online under Class 2A Region 4 Results, Boys.

The Chamberlain Team had a tough day at Regionals and will not advance.

It was a successful rebuilding season for Coach Bill Workman's squad with a very difficult beginning. Three experienced players from last year were lost from the team this season. One was disqualified in training season, one chose to do home schooling, and one transferred schools. We are proud of the team effort, and of Gary's success as District Champ.
