Patriots Strong at Grain Valley

The Christ Prep Patriots traveled to Adam's Pointe Golf Club in Blue Springs, Mo. Monday as the squad participated in the Grain Valley Invitational. The CPA golfers had a workmanlike outing amidst blustery conditions and placed 5th among the 11 teams in the field. The Patriots' score of 367, while respectable, was well behind first place Platte County, which carded a 334.

Two Patriot freshmen received individual awards. Garrett Clark shot a five-over-par 77, which was good enough for a tie for 2nd Place, while CPA's Clark Shaffstall's 86 earned him a tie for the 10th. These rounds followed solid outings for the pair during last week's first two tournaments.

Garrett Clark's foursome included Brett Windsor from Boonville, who shot an outstanding 67 (-5) earning him overall medalist honors. Windsor, Clark, and  Marshall's Cole Perkins-who had the other 77-were the only contestants who shot less than 80 from Adam's Pointe's 6,400 yard blue tees.

Christ Prep travels to Hesston, Kansas Friday to participate in the Wichita Defenders Invitational.
