Golfers Take Fifth in State Vick Takes Regional Honors; Briggs Receives Condon Trophy Totally dominating Shelby County League play, the Owl linkmen turned in an outstanding 8-0 record in 1973, beating Collierville, Germantown, Millington, and Bartlett all twice. Some examples of the Golf team ' s strength are found in the typical margin of strokes in most matches. Against Collierville the margin was 47 strokes; in a match with Millington, 37 strokes; and in a match with Germantown, an impressive 97 strokes. Eight different players participated in the matches showing the Owl ' s superior depth. When Coach Shurlds said that the team had the potential to go a long way and that he believed that we had the top team in the city, he was proven correct on both accounts. The Owl golfers were regional champions by ten strokes, with Vick taking honors with a 72. Next, travelling to Nashville for the state tournament, the Owl linkmen took fifth place. Bo Briggs was the recipient of the Condon golf trophy, defeating Vick by seven strokes in the school ' s owm tournament. blasting from the sand, Bo Griggs keeps limself in front for the Condon Trophy.
