Sophomore Payton Hughes will advance to regional in Huntsville on April 23 and 24. His 3rd individual overall placing secured 4th in district for the boys’ team behind Madisonville 1st, Athens 2nd and Palestine 3rd.
“I feel good about it. My game is getting where it needs to be and I have a lot of confidence going into regionals for the second year in a row,” Hughes said. “I think I can perform a lot better this year. I have played the course a lot more and know more about it.”
