A team score of 299 wasn’t good enough for the host team to win the Heritage Lady General Invitational at the Nob North Golf Course last Tuesday.

Gordon Lee claims Five-Star Invitational

Justin Hickman carded a 73 and Tucker Windham added a 76 to help lead the Trojans to a three-shot victory in the Heritage boys’ Five-Star Invitational at Nob North this past Thursday.

Gordon Lee edged out Northwest Whitfield (313) for the title, while the LaFayette junior varsity squad shot a 325 to place third.

Christian Heritage (329) was fourth, followed by Southeast Whitfield (332), Cartersville (350) and Heritage (356).

Dalton edges Ringgold at Windstone

Gavin Noble shot a 35 on Thursday—including a 15foot birdie on his last hole— helping the Ringgold Tigers to a team score of 175 in nine holes at Windstone.

Harrison Haupt added a 45 for the Blue-and-White, followed by a 47 from Jerin Morgan and a 48 from Luke Harvey.

Dalton was three strokes better at 172, getting a 41 from Miller Lovingood, a 43 from Jackson Simmons and a 44 from both Christian Lama and Alex Kerr.
