PAGE 4B - THE COMMERCE (GA) NEWS - MARCH 19, 2008 CHS Golf CHS Track and Field Commerce Splits Match With Oglethorpe Tigers Take Second In Habersham By Brandon Reed It was a pretty good week for Commerce’s golf teams, as the boys defeated Oglethorpe County 158 - 201, while the girls fell just short of Oglethorpe, which defeated them 95-105. For the boys, Taylor Gary shot a 33, which ties a school record. Sam Purcell shot a 41, while Hamp Gary and Casey Drinkard both shot 42s. Others scorers include Colton Dean with a 47, and Adam Hanley with a 50. “Taylor played a great nine holes," said Commerce golf coach David Stephenson. “He made five birdies. He is capa ble of going lower. I was very proud for him. Sam Purcell also played well. His swing is much improved since last year and he is starting to get his timing. Hamp and Casey played steady golf but both will score lower as the season progresses. They are hitting the ball great." For the girls, Chelsey Cain shot a 49, Callie Adams shot a 56, Camille Blair shot a 60, and Anna Marie Hooper shot a 67. “Chelsey played very well," Stephenson said. “Her scores continue to drop.
