Senior Aces Golfers Honored
The Golden Aces boys golf team celebrated Senior Day with a win over Carmi Monday.
From Coach Nick Toothman:
Aces get the win tonight vs Carmi tonight at home on senior night. Scores are posted below but tonight was about our 3 seniors. As a coach I couldn't ask for three better role models inside and outside of the classroom. Tripp Bingham, Konner Kelsey, and Owen Dougherty you have been an absolute pleasure to coach for all of us coaches. My job has been easy having you three as our leaders. You will be missed but we aren't quite done yet. Off to regionals on Wednesday at Robinson.
