Prep Golf

The Carrollton High School boys’ golf team finished in fourth place out of seven teams at the Granger Invitational at Highlands Country Club in LaGrange on Thursday evening, firing a 362. Woodward Academy won the match with a 334.

Leading the Trojans was Nick Fazio with an 86, followed by Nick Gainey (88), Rob Simpson (89) and Jake Jennings (99).

“It was kind of a tough day. I mean, the wind didn’t bother anybody or anything else, we just had a tough time reading the greens. You would think it would break one direction and it would go a different direction,” Trojan coach Scott Morris said. “Just one of those days where you play, you shoot and you figure you’re going to play pretty well and your score you end up shooting is not what you fell like you played. And there are days like that. Some days you play well and you score horrible and other days you don’t play well, but you scramble well and you get a good score. We look at this one as a learning experience and go forward.”

The Trojans return to action on Monday at St. Andrews Golf & Country Club in Douglasville against Alexander High School.
