There have been two rounds of play in Piedmont District golf and Halifax County High School has finished as the runner-up in both rounds. <\/p>\n
The Comets finished in a tie for second place with Patrick County High School in Tuesdays district round at Forest Park Country Club in Martinsville, trailing winner Franklin County High School by 17 shots in a contest that was reduced to a nine-hole contest due to weather. <\/p>\n
It was the second straight win for Franklin County High School in Piedmont District competition. <\/p>\n
Kassidy Irby and Khalil Richardson led the Comets, with both golfers carding a round of 40. Lance Chappell was next in line for the Comets with a round of 41 and Willoughby Gasperinis round of 44 was the final score to be counted toward the Comets team total. <\/p>\n
Will Abdi and Henry Morrison also competed for the Comets in Tuesdays contest, with both carding a round of 46. The four best scores from among six players are counted toward the team total. <\/p>\n
It was a very good effort by all of our players on a not so good weather day, said Comets Head Coach David Graham. <\/p>\n
The team played consistent and steady. We were led by the steady play of Kassidy Irby, and a good round by Khalil Richardson. Lance Chappell was in good form with a round of 41, followed by Willoughby Gasperini with a 44. Except for a few by holes by each player, we are making improvements. <\/p>\n
Graham said players are continuing to work on shoring up various aspects of their game. <\/p>\n
The players are working hard on some things in practice, Graham pointed out, and I can see some improvement on the course. We will continue to improve as the season goes on. We will be playing a district match at home next week (at Greens Folly Golf Course), and the team is looking forward to playing here. <\/p>\n
Franklin County 148, Halifax County 165, Patrick County 165, Tunstall High School 170, Magna Vista High School 180, Bassett High School 197. <\/p>\n
