River Valley golf picks up win to stay unbeaten

Taking on host Rio Linda in a Tri-county Conference match, the Falcons recorded their lowest score of the year by shooting a 192 and cruised to a win over a Knights team that brought only three players to the match.

Trey Davis led the way for River Valley by firing a oneunder-par 35, while teammate Andrew Davidson was right behind him with an even-par 36. Riley Bell shot a 38, Ryan Jelavich carded a 40 and Guramrit Ghoman finished with a 43 to round out the scoring five.

The Falcons (4-0, 2-0 TCC) will host their own Falcon Invitational on Monday at Peach Tree Golf & Country Club.
