Wheatmore was the overwhelming winner in the Piedmont Athletic Conference Tournament for boys’ golf last week at Colonial Country Club in Thomasville.
The Warriors posted a score of 324 for a 43-shot advantage on runner-up Providence Grove. Randleman (375) was third, followed by Trinity (376), Uwharrie Charter Academy (417) and Southwestern Randolph (453).
Eastern Randolph didn’t have enough entrants for a team score, but that didn’t stop the school from making an impact.
The individual champion was Connor Carter of Eastern Randolph with a 3-under-par 68. Wheatmore teammates Ryan Marshall (73) and Ryan Baynard (76) held the next two spots before fourth-place Jayden Moffitt (80) of Eastern Randolph.
Asheboro takes fourth
In the Mid-Piedmont Conference, Asheboro shot 362 in the championship tournament for fourth place at Winding Creek Golf Course in Thomasville.
The Blue Comets were led by David Elliott’s 79 for fifth place and Luke Payne’s 80 for a share of sixth place.

Providence Grove’s girls and Trinity’s boys were PAC titlists in the championship meet last week at Wheatmore.

Baseball, softball
PAC Tournaments in both sports are taking place this week. Finals are slated for 7 p.m. Thursday at the home fields of the regular-season champions.
That means the baseball title game will be played at Randleman. The softball final will be contested at Providence Grove.
