NATCHEZ — Low scores and low temperature made for a good day at Adams County Christian School’s Athletic Boosters’ four-man scramble at Duncan Park Saturday.

An overcast day, with some scattered showers cooled off the players, and the heavy rainfall waited until the players wrapped up their play, ACCS coach Hunter McKeivier said.

“I think it went real well,” McKeivier said. “The rain kept it cool, and it ended up being a great day, and we had some great golfers.”

The team of Walt Wilson, Henry Farmer, Joel Lessley and Casey Ham, who represented the Sandbar restaurant, won the championship flight in a scorecard playoff over Smith Printing. Both teams shot 19-under-par rounds. The Smith Printing team consisted of Eric Smith, Randy Martin, Anthony Kent and Larry Hill.

Wilson Supply, Community Hospital and Lincoln Lumber all shot 18-under-par rounds to tie for third in the championship flight.

“The competition is good, we have some former city champions, and a lot of great golfers,” McKeivier said.

The Doug Brown team took the top spot in the first flight with a score of 14-under-par. The team consisted of Doug Brown, Dewayne Brown, Lovie Brown and Buie Brown.

Seventeen teams participated in the tournament, each paying an entry fee of $50.

The money raised at the tournament goes to the ACCS Booster Club, and most of it is used to fund Rebel athletics, McKeivier said.

“(Fundraising) is huge,” he said. “When you are a private school, that’s not city funded, a lot of the things you do you have to fund yourself.”

McKeivier said the golf tournament is one of many fundraisers ACCS has each year, and also one of its most popular.

“This event has been pretty popular. You can’t ever beat golf,” he said. “A lot of people enjoy playing, and they can win prizes, so they can get something back.”

McKeivier said this year’s event was the second most successful out of the four tournaments ACCS has hosted. He said they raised almost $5,000 at this year’s event.

The top finishers in the two flights and also in the closest-to-the-pin and longest-drive competitions received prizes.

McKeivier said this was the first year he did not play in the tournament, but he was pleased with the results.

The team representing UMB won the prize for the team that had the most fun. The group finished 2-over-par, and consisted of Agnes Holloway, Donnie Holloway, Jamie Holloway and Homer Rushing.

McKeivier said they dropped the tournament a couple of years ago and he is glad to have it back.

“Three years ago we didn’t have it, and it left a void,” he said. “We wanted to get it back up.”

McKeivier said he plans to have the tournament again next summer at Duncan Park.
