Christ Prep Golfers Show Well at Blue Springs South Invitational

The Christ Prep Patriots made an excellent showing yesterday at the Blue Springs South "Jaguar Invitational" held at Lakewood Oaks Country Club in Lee's Summit, Mo.  The Patriots finished fourth in the field of 21 larger Missouri schools which put forth both varsity and junior varsity competition. The top four CPA golfers combined for a team score of 339, which barely missed the 2nd and 3rd Place scores of 336 and 338 returned by Blue Springs South "B"and Raytown South, respectively.  Liberty finished first with a team total 327.

Individually for Christ Prep, sophomore Joey Johnson led the Patriots with a seven-over-par 78. That score was good enough for third place (behind two 74s) overall in the Invitational's field, which included almost 100 competitors.

The narrow Lakewood Oaks layout made yesterday's play difficult as no golfers broke par. The Invitational was played from Lakewood's blue tees, which measured 6,301 yards for the event.
