Statesmen Golf Team Captures JRD Title

CHARLOTTE COURT HOUSE – The Randolph-Henry Statesmen Golf Team wrapped up another unbeaten regular season effort last week to claim their 18^th consecutive James River District Championship.

The team traveled to Lunenburg Country Club on September 5 and took a team victory while shooting a 160 on the day. Lunenburg finished second with a 177 and Buckingham was third with a 217.

Evan Mason continued his strong play this season as he shot a 35 on the day to lead everyone. Also playing well for R-H was Logan Newcomb-41, Eli Moore-42 and Skylar Lacks-42.

The team took on Lunenburg and Prince Edward on September 7 at Briery Country and the top two teams looked the same once again. R-H won the event while shooting a team score of 154 with Lunenburg in second at 172 and Prince Edward shooting a 219.

Evan Mason remained consistent while leading the team with a 35 on the day. Logan Newcom-39, Eli Moore-40, Skylar Lacks-40, Brenden Fransico-41 and Larkin Jackson-42 each had a good day for the Statesmen as well.

Coach Kelly Powell stated, “The 2017 R-H Golf Team has completed their District schedule and are UNDEFEATED DISTRICT CHAMPIONS.  This is the 18^th consecutive district championship for the Statesmen and the 15^th consecutive UNDEFEATED district championship. We will complete our regular season next week with two tough non-district matches at Briery Country Club.  We are really playing well now and all team members are contributing and competing for playing time.”
