Tallulah Falls School boys and girls golf teams continue their winning ways as both teams came away victorious in recent matches.
In a March 14 matchup with Towns County played at the Orchard Golf & Country Club, the varsity boys were led by sophomore Kale Corbett of Lakemont who shot a 45 and freshman Tyler Popham of Demorest who shot a 47. With this win, the young team improved to 3-1 for the season.
The varsity girls won their match handily against Towns. The girls team, led by sophomore Maggie Jackson of Clarkesville, recorded a TFS record for nine-hole play with a 37.
Sophomore Brinson Hall of Mt. Airy shot a 43 for a team score of 80.
Jackson and Hall have recently been on a tear, according to head coach Allen Campbell.
Hall tied the TFS record for a nine-hole round last week (38) before Jackson shot her record-setting round of 37 on Thursday.
On Saturday, March 16 more records fell as the girls team traveled to Athens and came away with a first-place finish in the Lady Titan Classic held at the Lane Creek Golf Course.
The Lady Indians outplayed 11 other teams from classifications as high as 7-A. The duo of Hall and Jackson once again led the way as Hall shot an 18-hole school record 74 for 18 holes, with a 36 (yet another TFS record) on the front nine.
Jackson was right on her heels with an 18-hole score of 75. The two-score total set a new TFS 18-hole record of 149.
Sophomore Selah Anderson of Clarkesville added a 99 giving the Lady Indians the Lady Titan Classic victory by 11 strokes over the second place North Hall team.
Coach Allen Campbell said the friendly competition between the two high-performing sophomores is helping both student-athletes to improve.
“These two young ladies have been pushing each other on the golf course since middle school,” Campbell said. “It is definitely a friendly competition and they continue to be great friends with fellow sophomore Selah Anderson as well. The team chemistry right now is awesome.”
