By David Rogers. LENOIR, N.C. — It was a clear, chilly day, but all six members of Watauga High School Men’s Golf team finished nine holes at Cedar Rock Country Club within four shots of each other on Feb. 29, capturing first place team honors in the non-conference competition.
Led by Jake Warren and Elliot Holcomb each shooting a 41, the Pioneers collectively recorded the low team score of 168, four strokes ahead of Hibriten, who claim Cedar Rock as their “home course.”
“We are off to a solid start this year,” said Watauga men’s coach Klay Anderson. “We return five of our top six players from last year and have won our first four non-conference matches in 2024. We also have some new players who are great additions to the team. Altogether, the boys are focused on trying to improve on our third place conference finish a year ago.”
