The final middle division golf tournament of the season concluded in an exciting fashion. The buzz and excitement that surrounded the playoffs was electric. The starting line-up from all eight teams competed for individual titles in both a boys and girls division. Scoring was tough on Wednesday afternoon for the entire field. Congratulations to our own sixth grader Meredith K. for earning the trophy for girls third place and tying her season-low score. Drew H. competed in an thrilling seven-man playoff to decided the boys third place winner. Drew hit the best shot on the first playoff hole, finishing with a par along with three other golfers. The final playoff hole was decided by a closest-to-the-hole challenge. The challenge was won by non-charger with a spectacular shot that landed only four feet away from the hole. It proved to be extremely tough to beat but great job Drew! Our team was awarded the second place trophy for the season-long points race, our best finish in a few years. The First Tee of St. Petersburg also handed out awards for the Match MVP and Best Attitude Award. Luke K. earned the Match MVP award for compiling our team's best match scoring average. The Best Attitude Award was presented to Jack H. for his terrific team spirit and positive attitude. We are so proud of our team and their accomplishments this year!
