The varsity golf team completed their 2006 season yesterday in the final round of the state tournament, held at the Old Fort Golf Course in Murfreesboro, as they finished third overall, three strokes ahead of MBA.
The Owls entered day two in fifth place, shooting a team-total 296 on the first day. Though they shot 308 on day two, the tough conditions on the course hurt other teams as well, and the Owls persevered to grab the third spot.
MUS was led by sophomore Drew Frisby, who followed up his first-day 71 with a 77 on day two to finish tied for eighth overall. Other Owl finishers for Coach Greg King's squad included senior Dev Varma (75/76 - 151), senior Daniel Brown (72/81 - 153), junior Paul Billings (80/74 - 154), and freshman Wilson Orr (78/82 - 160).
Baylor won the event easily, shooting 577 overall and finishing seventeen strokes ahead of runner-up Knoxville Webb. The Owls followed their third-place region showing with this third-place finish as they defeated both ECS and CBHS, the two teams that had finished ahead of them at region.
The third-place showing also matched last-year's finish as Coach King continues his streak of finishing in the top-three at state every year as varsity coach.
