Although the recent heat index has been off the charts, it hasn’t weakened Hacketts golf game. The Hornets have been having success with their matches at Winn Mountain Golf Course in Mountainburg and plan to keep up the trend. The team may be small in numbers but they are big in heart. Ashley Johnson and Blake Payson were the pair of Hornets that competed for Hackett at Winn Mountain on August 26.
The three other schools in attendance were Magazine, Eureka Springs, and Mountainburg. Ashley Johnson ended the day with a score of 50 and to top it off, she walked away the winner of the 9-hole match. Blake Payson was also successful in his talented golf abilities as he achieved a score of 53. Coach Kent Elmore had this to say about his Hornets, “I look forward to seeing more and more growth from the team as they continue to practice. They have been hitting the ball better and hopefully with cooler temperature lower scores will follow!” The Hornets will play again at Winn Mountain on September 9.
