Brewer, Frazier, and Bringer were each recognized with All-District honors for their performances.

Senior Bryce Baker also competed at districts and carded a 105 to tie for 51st. While his score didn’t qualify for state, Baker’s commitment and contributions throughout his career made a lasting mark on Canton golf.

“It was real exciting,” said Canton head coach and principal Bill Dorethy. “I’ve coached in the final four, and the golf was much more nerve-racking than it was when coaching basketball.”
