Kettle Run tees off into the great unknown
New school uncertainty. Summer vacations. No time.
Pick a reason. The inaugural Kettle Run Cougars golf team is a little light on participation.
But history is still about to be made.
On Thursday, coach Billy Childress leads his youthful troops into the first official sporting event in the annals of Kettle Run High: the Combs Cup golf tournament against Liberty and Fauquier.
“It’s real exciting, yeah,” said sophomore Kyle Johnson, who will play No. 1 for the Cougars.
Besides Johnson — who played in almost every match for the Falcons last year and shoots in the mid-80s — the Cougars roster includes Chris Ferrell, Cameron Nay, Jack Giglio, Reid Turnure and D.J. Tatro.
Childress said Ferrell will probably fill the No. 2 slot. Ferrell has played golf two years and really embraced it. “I was sitting at home and needed something to do. I started playing golf and had fun doing it,” Ferrell said.
Like Johnson, Ferrell is a Fauquier Springs Country Club member who plays about four times a week, shooting anywhere from 100 to the high 80s.
Nay, a junior, and Giglio, a freshman, are two other golfers that flash promise but may not always score well. That's the kind of unpredictability that Kettle Run will display due to inexperience. Childress' team has two freshmen, two sophomores and two juniors...
See the Wednesday print edition of the Fauquier Times-Democrat for the complete story.
