The TSSAA held their large school state golf tournament this week at Willowbrook Golf Course in Manchester and Isaac Walker and Anna Chew represented the DCHS Tigers after qualifying at the regional tournament in Cleveland last week.

The state tournament was scheduled for a two-day, 36 hole event, but was shortened to a one-day 18 hole competition due to the weather.

Walker, a senior and Cumberland signee, shot a 6 over par round of 78 to finish in a tie for 26th place out of 63 golfers. This was Isaac’s 3rd trip representing DCHS in the state tournament.

Anna Chew, a junior, was making her first appearance in the state tournament. She shot an 82 to finish in a tie for 18th out of 48 golfers.

DCHS Golf Coach John Pryor said “I am so proud of Isaac and Anna. They are great golfers, great students, and most importantly, great young people. They have been excellent representatives for our school and our community. Isaac is headed to Cumberland where I expect him to do great things. Anna still has one more year in high school, and I know she wants another shot at state,” said Coach Pryor.

Johnson City Science Hill won the boys team competition with a four man score of 291. Lance Simpson of Farragut and Jackson Skeen of Science Hill tied for 1st with 71.

In the girls competition, Station Camp won with a two girl score of 146 and Isabella Van der Biest of Kingsport Dobyns-Bennett, won the individual honors with a 67.
