-xii E wi si Qs. C, A Kwik -as -w i Going The Rounds Fore! The golf teom reolly got into the swing of things this yeor, thonks to their driving deterrninotion ond the support of Topsoil Greens ond Belvedere Plonto- tion. Cooch Ed Gibson commented on the teom's outstonding competitive seo- son os being the best he hos seen in Topsoil's history, Their competition inf creosed from 1A schools, like Topsoil, to AA schools, like locksonville ond White ville, who were Stote Chomps. Their recordjumped to on unbelievoble 195 in less thon o yeor's time, plocing Topsoil in the cotegory of leoding schools. A few of their most metnoroble ochievennents this post yeor were the Whiteville lnvitotionol, where Topsoil fin- ished 5 out of 12, ond the sectionols ot Rock Creek in Richlonds. Cooch Gibson brought olong five of his most outstond- ing ployers to the sectionols: Mortin Kee gel, Brod Knight, Reid Sotterfield, Josh Poteot, ond Chuck Botts. Chuck londed o 77, which ploced him with the runnereup individuols ond loter sent him to the Store Ployoffs. Cooch Gibson wos proud of his teom this yeor ond hod high hopes for on even better teom during '88 His dreonn wos fulfilled, VTTOCG possible by the return of the top five ployers from lost seoson: Reid Sotterfield, Brod Knight, Chris Arn burg, Josh Poteot - ond, of course, Chuck Botts. The teonn's gool of first ploce in the Store Chompionship doesn't seem for owoy, ond olnnost onyone con see the inevitoble in Cooch Gibson's words of ossuronce . . . the best seo- son is definitely next yeor.
