The returning members of Boyd-Buchanan’s boys’ golf team today will be looking to wash away the memory of last year’s Region 3-A/AA high school tournament. The Buccaneers, who won the District 5 title Monday, just like they did a year ago, are among the teams competing in this year’s region tournament at Chatata Valley in Cleveland.
Play is scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. with the boys starting on No. 10 and the girls starting on No. 1. Today’s boys’ and girls’ team champions will earn berths in the state tournament Oct. 4-5 at WillowBrook in Manchester.
Boyd-Buchanan’s Riley Covington works out with the golf team on Friday.
The Region 4-A/AA tournament is scheduled Thursday at Fall Creek Falls. The team winners there also will earn spots in the state-tournament field.
The Bucs were 16-0 last regular season and with the district championship in hand headed to The Bear Trace at Harrison Bay for the region tournament. They felt they underperformed that rainy day and lost to McMinn Central, missing their goal of advancing to the state tournament.
McMinn Central again is one of the contenders the Bucs must deal with. But today’s forcast for Cleveland is sunny with a high temperature near 88.
