Golfers Scorch The Links Centennial's golf team, coached by Bob Nelson, was one of the finest teams ever at Centennial. The Chargers finished their dual season with an undefeated record. The golfers were led by the outstanding play of junior Rob Summers and sophomore Jamie Fairbanks. Both Summers and Fairbanks had 38.2 averages for 30 sets of 9 holes. Summers finished first in both the Decatur Invitational and Big 12 meet. Fairbanks recorded first place finishes in the Rantoul Invitational and the Charger Invitational. The Chargers as a team per- formed admirably. The team won the Rantoul and Charger Invitationals and both the Big 12 and Regional meets. Second place efforts were posted at the Decatur Invitational and Sectionals. The Chargers capped their brilliant sea- son with a seventh place finish at the State meet. Coach Nelson can expect another excellent season next year with all of his top golfers returning. 1. Rob Summers and a Centennial Alum take a break from the action. 2.
