The Lady Cats were made up of JV players playing in a Varsity tournament and they competed very well placing in the top 10 teams. The Lady Cats were led by sophomore Sydnee Coker who shot a 104 on a very long and hard course.
The Golf teams also hosted the Thomasville Bulldogs yesterday at the Bainbridge Country Club where all teams won their matches in a very convincing fashion.

The Basscats student anglers had another great day on the water Sunday on Lake Seminole fishing the Florida Elite Tournament Trail.

On the Senior Division side, Fisher Baty and Cole Henderson secured 2nd place and Jack Kennedy and Mason Bright finished in 5th place. In the Junior Division, Breckin Boyd and John Wesley Alderman finished in 2nd place. Great job to all of our teams who competed over the weekend. These anglers compete year-round on many different lakes and in all types of weather. Thank you to the boat captains and all of our team sponsors who make these opportunities possible for our student anglers!
