“I’m very proud of Brody,” said Polk Middle golf coach Kenny Hall. “He has put in a ton of extra work this season to improve his game. He started play with a double bogey, followed it up with a birdie, then played very consistently the rest of the way. His goal this season was to get under 40, and he rocked it today.”

Rugby Middle took the team title by two strokes over Macon Middle.
