James River finished seventh among 13 teams competing in the tournament. River’s best score was a 91 by Silas Miller, followed by Ryan Steger at 92. Also scoring for the Knights were Joey Schroeder at 95 and Dylan Hicks at 103. Jake Braun had 104 and Dalton Hall carded 111 for River.
“I was hoping for a better day,” said coach Donna Cox. “The guys played hard but fought the windy conditions all day. I’m super excited about the next two to three years for River’s golf program, we have so much talent returning.”
Only one team advances to the state tournament, Floyd, along with the top three golfers not on the Buffalo team. The three individuals that advance are Trevor Price from Radford, Matt Arnold from Chatham and Jared Lee from Alleghany.
