DCHS golfer Mallory Sullivan reached another milestone Tuesday having shot a 35, one under par for a course record at the Cumberland Bend Golf Course in Jackson County
She was competing against Clay County. “On the girls side, we played at Jackson County on Tuesday against Jackson County and Clay County and Mallory shot the course record,” said Coach Joe Pat Cope. “She shot a 35 up there, one under par which is a sports records for girls high school golf there. They framed her score card and put that up. We’re pleased with where we’re at right now,” he said.
Meanwhile, the DCHS boys golf team remains undefeated in district play. “They haven’t lost a district match in the last two seasons,” said Coach Cope. “We have three seniors, Zach Martin, Hayden Ervin, and Corey Kijanski and they have all been shooting in the mid 30’s. They have played really well. Ethan Roller has shot under par six rounds this year. I am tickled to death the way the guys are playing,” he added.
“We have five more matches left including Livingston, which is also undefeated in the district, and we’ll play them next Tuesday, September 4. If you can come out and support the Tigers and Lady Tigers, that would be huge, Coach Cope continued. “That’s always a battle. We’ve been fortunate enough to beat them the last couple of years, but anytime Livingston comes to town it’s going to be tough. They’ve got four really good guy golfers and their scores are real similar to ours so it should be a good match,” he said.
“We have our district tournament coming up in a couple of weeks. The girls will play Monday, September 24 at Ironwood and the boys will play Tuesday, September 25 at White Plains Golf Course in Cookeville. We look forward to seeing everybody out at the matches,” said Coach Cope.
