GMS Athletics: Golf, May 7, 2025
GMS competed in the 2025 Sectionals at Dandridge Golf and Country Club on Wednesday, May 7th, 2025. Maelynn Hux qualified as an individual. She recorded her lowest 9-hole score of the season on the front 9 and finished up in 13th place overall as a 6th grader. This concludes her amazing 6th-grade season.
The boys’ teams came into sectionals undefeated on the season and came up just a little short. They finished 2nd place in the public-school division and only missed going to state by 5 strokes. Nathan Howlett continued his great play in his 8th-grade season, shooting a 69 (-3). This was his best match score of the season. He was the overall Sectional champion with the best score out of all the boys on the day. He will advance to play in the state tournament next week, representing GMS as an individual competitor. Maps Gray finished in 14th place. Jaxson Lester finished in 33rd place. Alex Hopson finished in 35th place. Jackson Shipley finished in 38th place.
The GMS golf team was very appreciative of Jason Horne coming out to support the golfers today. Dr. Horne is the Assistant Director of Schools for Administration.
Nathan Howlett will participate in the 2025 TMSAA golf state tournament next week.
