The first high school sporting even for the 2022-23 athletic season kicked off last Monday at the Cliff View Golf Club.
Among the schools at the first sporting event of the athletic season were schools representing the Three Rivers District including the local home host Alleghany, Floyd County, Radford, James River, and Carroll County.
At the first golf match of the season, the Floyd County Buffaloes set the pace by shooting a team match best 304 on the day at Cliff View. The Radford Bobcats finished second behind the Buffaloes by shooting a 324.
Leading the way individually was Buffaloes senior, McKenzie Weddle who shot 5-under-par for the match with a 67 as she paced the Buffaloes to victory. Weddle’s teammate, Ryan Bonde, shot a 71 as he finished 1-under-par for the match.
Meanwhile, Bobcats senior Aidan Minnick and Knights senior, Ryan Steger, were the only other two to shoot under 80 for the match. Minnick finished 2-above-par with a 74, while Steger shot a 79 as he finished 7-above-par.
For the hosts the Mountaineers, Carter Wickline, led his team with an 87 for the match and finished 15-above-par. The Mountaineers finished fourth for the match with 402 as they held off the Carroll County Cavaliers who finished last with a 408.
The Mountaineers golf team looks different this season as head coach Brian Ellwood, who enters his second season with the team, has more golfers in his program this year. The team has 10 varsity golfers and a pair of eighth graders on the team this season.
