Golf Wrap Up

The BGA golf team had a very successful season in Fall 2020. Both the girls and boys teams went to the district tournament at Riverbend Country Club. The boys team placed 2nd, and the girls team placed 2nd as well. Bella Bugg placed 5th place individually, and Jackie Henderson, who is an 8th grader at BGA, placed 2nd individually. The girls and boys team both advanced to the Region Tournament. The boys team ended their season by placing 5th overall. Jack Joseph had a score of 81, Price Crabtree had a score of 82, Jake Fleser had a score of 85, Eliot Brashear had a score of 90, and Ryan Atkins had a score of 93. The girls team was very successful. Bella Bugg played a really great match and almost made it to state. She cut it very close, but she lost in a playoff round. She had a score of 85. A BGA 9th grader, Shea Hollis, had a great season and ended it with a score of 96. BGA 8th grader, Jackie Henderson, placed 4th overall with a score of 84 and advanced to the state tournament. In the state tournament, Jackie placed 7th overall. Coach Brent McLay summed up the season: “Despite the logistical challenges of Covid 19, it was a tremendous success. We overcame the adversity of our new reality and forged ahead into the postseason with determination. I couldn’t be more proud of both the boys and girls team performance in the post-season. I look forward to next year as I’m certain we will improve as a group and experience further success.” Congratulations to all the BGA golfers!
