Draper – Cavalier golf coach Jeremy Ogle led his team into the Regional tournament thinking about possibly needing Hotel reservations for Harrisonburg, the site of the Class 3 State Tournament.
When the day ended, Coach realized just how close he came to needing a bigger vehicle as Carroll County missed out on qualifying as a team by a mere five strokes. One would have to do a deep dive into the history books for the last time that happened.
Trace Reavis carded a two over par 74, finishing up in a four way tie for fifth place. The lanky Senior won the second hole of a playoff to secure a second straight trip to Heritage Oaks Golf Course October 13th.
Reavis earned 1st team All-Region with his effort as just 17 of the 68 golfers broke 80 on the day. Amazingly, six of the 17 wore the colors of Tunstall. The Trojans captured first place with a 299, fifteen strokes clear of the runner ups at 314.
The top two teams advance to State as well as a few of the golfers not playing on either top team. Reavis fits into that category after his two hole playoff but let’s see just how close the Cavaliers were to joining him at State.
Camden DeHaven finished with an 80 and his effort earned him a spot on Region 3D Second team. Wyatt Ogle was close behind with an 82 and the fourth counting score went to Adison McGraw (83), giving the team a sparkling 319 total.
Both Fisher McMillian and Bryce Cochran broke 90 as the duo each carded an 88. The team finished fifth overall in the 13 School event !
Tunstall – 299
Lord Botetourt & Christiansburg 314
