Golf
Crothersville competes at South Central
The Crothersville boys golf team play against South Central and Henryville on Wednesday afternoon.
Matthew Clouse shot a 68 and Andrew Stainbrook shot a 69. Since Crothersville only has two golfers, the Tigers don’t account for a team score.
South Central edged Henryville in 262-266 in the team scores.
The Tigers will be competing in the Southern Athletic Conference match this Saturday at Champions Pointe Golf Course at 12 p.m.
