Zach Olsen Wins State Golf Championship

MUS eighth-grader Zach Olsen is the new state golf champion, beating a senior Baylor golfer, Ryan Thornton, in a sudden death playoff. Olsen won on the third playoff hole with a final two-day score of 138 at the Old Fort Golf Course in Murfreesboro. He is the youngest boy to ever win a Tennessee high school golf championship. Olsen's play also helped the Owls to a second-place finish in the team competition.  Congratulations, Zach and the entire golf team: seniors Mark Beanblossom, Jordan Brown, Drew Frisby, and Wilson Orr; junior Holman Moores; sophomores Clifton Jordan and Jerry B. Martin; and freshmen Max Barousse and Daniel McLeod.
