Patriots Sweep Honors at Blue Ridge

CPA "Blue"

The Christ Prep Patriots sent two golf teams and 14 players to the Blue Ridge Christian Invitational today in Kansas City. The two teams finished 1-2 and the Patriots claimed 5 of 6 individual medals at the 18 hole event, held at the Royal Meadows Golf Club.

CPA brought two equally divided "split squad" teams to the tournament. In addition to the main tournament, which took the four best scores among the two teams' rosters, the Patriots held their own grudge match between the two CPA teams--"Patriot Blue" vs. "Patriot Red."

The Patriot Blue team consisted of Joey Johnson, Darren Wallace, Logan Routh, Jordan Uebelein, Sierra Massing, Phoebe Finley, and Nelson Searcy. The Patriot Red team was comprised of Adam Johnson, Timothy Finley, Jacob Bishoff, Jacob Bronars, Drew Langston, Sawyer Massing, and Judah Brown.

Patriot Blue defeated Patriot Red 332-362  in the overall Blue Ridge tournament, where the best four scores from each of the teams' seven players were tallied. However, in the CPA version of the match, all seven scores were added together. With that format Patriot Red beat Patriot Blue by a score of 688 to 724. In the end, Patriot Red received the winners trophy but Patriot Blue received pizza.

As stated previously, CPA golfers won 5 of the 6 medals awarded for individual scores.  Joey Johnson was overall medalist with a 2-over-par 72. Logan Routh tied for second with a 79 while Adam Johnson, Darren Wallace, and Timothy Finley placed 4th, 5th, and 6th with scores of 83, 86, and 87, respectively.

The Patriot varsity gets back into action next Monday, April 11 at the Blue Springs South Invitational at Lakewood Oaks. The JV travels that same day to the Veritas Invitational in Lawrence, Kans.
