Bowman Blocker is the fifth Boyd Buchanan golfer this school year to accept a college athletic scholarship.
He signed Friday to continue his playing career at Freed-Hardeman University in Henderson, Tennessee. He was one of eight seniors on the Buccaneers teams that won the Bradley County Invitational, the Buc Classic and the Division II-A East Region District 2 tournament and went to the state tournament this past season.
“I am very proud of Bowman and the other seven seniors. They worked hard this year,” said Bucs coach Ed Connelly, noting that Zacori Hill, Trent Cooper and Riley Barnes also signed to play collegiate golf and Hayes Wood signed for soccer.
“Bowman is a terrific young man who played for an outstanding high school golf program,” FHU coach Chris Hodges said in Connelly’s announcement. “His experience playing with such a successful team will carry over to the collegiate game. I expect Bowman to make an immediate impact at Freed-Hardeman.”
