Freshman twins Ryan and Thomas Boyer represented Craig County in the Region 1C golf tournament last week. The tournament was held at the Great Oaks Country Club in Floyd County.
This was the first time in eight years the Rockets had golfers in the region tournament. Ryan shot a 49 on the front nine and a 52 on the back nine to finish at 101, 29th among 47 golfers in the tournament. Thomas shot 56 and 50 for 106, good for 32nd.
Auburn had five of the top six scores and won the region championship. Liam Smith was medalist with a 77. It took an 85 to advance as an individual to the state tournament and the Pioneer District had no one qualify.
Fort Chiswell was second as a team, and both the Eagles and Pioneers advanced to this week’s state tournament at the Hobbs Hole Course in Tappahannock. That was scheduled for Tuesday.
