GLADE SPRINGS- The Greenbrier East Spartans golf team got off on the right foot to start the 2023 season with a victory on the golf course at Glades Spring Resort.
Other teams participating were Shady Spring, Woodrow Wilson and Westside.
East finished the day with a score of 118. Isaac Hutchinson led the Spartans and shot a 38 in the first round.
The top four scores for the Spartans were Hutchinson (38), Isaac Cantrell (39), Jacob Honaker (41), and Nathan Dolin (42).
Head coach Doug Bicksler said it is hard to believe the season is underway already.
“High School golf season always creeps up, and then it goes fast. It’s an eight-week dash to the finish,” Bicksler said.
Getting the first win is always important, and the head coach is able to see what his team has when the proverbial lights come on.
“We get an idea on how good the team is in practice, but you never really know until they play in a real match, so getting a win right off the bat is wonderful,” Bicksler concluded.
