REGION 3AA

[wildcatfever]

Both Hixson & Walker Valley should be the top teams in their district with the region championship & a berth in the state probably on the line. I believe it will come down to the performances of each teams #3 & #4 players scores that will determine each of these teams post season advancement. What do you guys think?

I think Hixson has the advantage over Walker Valley. Walker Valley lost their best golfer, Pat Dye, last year and I don't think they have anyone who can fill his shoes. Hixson on the other hand have their top four returning, and all four have improved greatly since last season, 2 have handicapps below scratch and one is around a 2. On top of the four returning seniors they are picking up two freshman, and one of them has a chance of bumping out the returning number 3 man and the other will definitely help at the 4-6 spots.

One more thing, Hixson's 3 and 4 man are good enough to play number 1, and the 3 and 4 scores will be just as strong as the top 2. I also think Hixson's top 2 are stronger than Walker Valley's top 2 returners from last year.

Lexington is going to be a contender for state again this year because they only lost one guy.

Well, after the Bear Trace tournament Wednesday 8/11, it appears as though Hixson has the edge. With Walker Valley losing Pat Dye, they will be really hurt, but on the other hand, Hixson has lost no one. Even though they shot 321 yesterday and played badly, they were without their consistent #2 man because he was in a match play tournament at the Honors Course. So unless Walker Valley can turn it on, it looks like Hixson has the upper hand in region 3 A/AA.

I definitley like Hixson. they are a lot deeper than Walker Valley especially after they lost an awesome player in pat dye.
