Patriots Win at Loch Lloyd

Patriot Senior Adam Johnson

The Christ Prep Patriot golf team accomplished something Thursday afternoon that it had not been able to do for the better part of the past three seasons--beat rival Kansas City Christian (KCC). The Patriots overcame cold, damp conditions to tally a combined score of 164 en route to the victory in a quad meet with KCC, Barstow, and Truman.

The 9-hole match was contested on the par 35 front side of Loch Lloyd, which measures approximately 3,125 from the white tees. Following the Patriots 164 mark were KCC with 171, Truman with 177, and Barstow at 199.

CPA senior Adam Johnson led the Patriots with a 3-over-par 38. Adam shared medalist honors with Joseph Lambert of KCC and a Truman golfer. The rest of the Patriots followed close behind. Adam's brother Joey Johnson shot 41, while Patriots Nolan Becerra, Timothy Finley, and Logan Routh shot 42, 43, & 45, respectively.

Next up for the Patriots will be the always-competitive Grain Valley Invitational this coming Monday, April 4. Christ Prep will put five varsity and five junior varsity players in the Grain Valley event, which is slated for a shotgun start at 8:00 a.m. Monday morning. Check back Monday evening for the results of that competition.
