The James River golf team finished third in the Region 2C sub-region tournament at Great Oaks in Floyd County Monday, qualifying for a spot in next Monday’s region tournament. The region tournament will be held at the Stoney Creek course in Wintergreen.
The top three teams from the sub-region advanced and it was a battle to the end. Radford won the sub-region with a team score of 321 followed by Floyd County at 322. River was next at 335 as all three teams that advance come from the Three Rivers District.
“We hung in there and finished third,” said River coach Donna Cox. “Great Oaks was set up as difficult as I’ve ever seen it.”
Mason Gilliland led River with a 76, followed by Landon Bolling at 79. Also scoring for River were Braden Persinger and Tucker Hall with 90 each. Hunter Crist of Radford was the medalist with a 70.
The Class 2 state tournament will be October 12 at the Hobbs Hole course in Tappahannock, Va.
