Each school, including Midlo, sent their top six golfers to compete, with the top four scores counting towards the total. Midlo’s leaders included: senior lead scorer Henry Davis, with a score of 70, and a tie for fourth between senior Dylan Fox and sophomore Ester Choi. Junior golfer Ryan South reflected, “We all putted really well and are feeling really good about our win.”

All players on the Midlo Golf team feel proud of their accomplishment and look forward to States, which will take place on October 9th at Williamsburg National Golf Course. The team anticipates facing tough competition, including the competitive Blacksburg High. They hope to pull together as a team and conquer the State Tournament.
