Generals golf has been a state powerhouse for decades
Generals have been State champs 9 times
On Monday our Golf team traveled to the Olde Mill Golf Resort in Laurel Fork and competed once again in the VHSL State Golf Championship. Our golf program is easily the most decorated program at the school with an amazing 9 State titles and 8 Runner-up finishes. We’ve also had 5 individual champions and 4 runner-ups. I thought this would be a great time to recognize the teams as we wish our current team the best of luck as we compete today.
One of the interesting things is that some of the championships on the banner are when we won and others are the graduation year that we won. It’s all messed up, but I am using the years from the VHSL handbooks and the yearbooks I was able to find. Legendary Coach Bob Crantz was the coach for 6 state titles and Brownie Ritenour for 3.
