I’d like to congratulate the boys golf team on an amazing turnout yesterday at the Cambridge Golf Club as they competed in CWOSSA. Braden Moore and Max Jolley both played solid rounds for the Titans. Jack Millard should have brought an extra pair of pants to the tournament, as he got a hole in one! Jack really did get his first ever hole in one on the 7th hole. At the end of the tournament, Jack was tied for first place at 72 and was forced to a playoff with ACS. Unfortunately, he came up short on the second hole, and finished 2nd. Great job boys! Ms Edge and Mr Martinow couldn’t be more proud of you.
