The DCHS Lady Tigers’ Golf Team punched their ticket to the TSSAA Division I AA State Tournament Monday winning the Region at Tim’s Fords Bear Trace in Winchester.
The team beat five others besting Lincoln County by one stroke. The Lady Tigers were led by Alison Poss with an 87 and Chloe Boyd with an 88. Emily Anderson finished with a 117.
“We did not start well but we finished strong,” said DCHS Golf Coach John Pryor. “Our team was resilient, and the girls had to dig deep to hold off the competition”.
For the Tigers, William Blair fired an 82 to finish 17th and Bradley Hale carded a 95 to finish in 40th. They were unable to advance to the State Tournament.
The Lady Tigers will compete against seven other schools in the State Tournament in Sevierville on Monday and Tuesday.
“We play in the largest public-school division in the state so the competition will be tough, but I believe in our Lady Tigers,” said Coach Pryor.
