The first of the high school fall sports to enter postseason play is girls and boys gold and after last week’s sectional tournaments, Adams County will be very well-represented in this week’s district golf competition, one team headed in as sectional champions and another as sectional runner-up.

Sectional play began on Monday, September 23 with the Division II girls at Buckeye Hills, an 18-hole tourney that included all four county high schools. When the day ended, the West Union Lady Dragons moved on to district action as the Division III runner-up and North Adams senior Emmy Holt moving on to districts as an individual qualifier.
