LaSasso, who shot an even par 72 Monday and a 75 Tuesday, is the first Warriors state medalist since Parker Gillam won in 2016. Adams finished one shot back after a 76 Tuesday. "We played for redemption after we finished second in our conference tournament last week," said coach Chris Wilson. "We played great golf and are very proud to bring the trophy back to St. David's for the third time in seven years." The Warriors captured back-to-back 2A state titles in 2016 and ’17 and finished second last spring.

The varsity golf team finished second in the EPIC tournament match held Monday at the Kinston Country Club. Parrott Academy won the event with a four-man total of 298 (14 over par).

The St. David’s varsity golf team finished four shots behind Parrott Academy in Monday’s match at the Kinston Country Club. The host school shot a four-man team total of 306 on the par 72 course, while the Warriors came in at 310. Grace Christian was third at 376. Davis Adams led SDS with a two-over par 74, which was two shots behind the Parrott medalist.

The varsity golf Warriors finished fifth out of 20 public and private schools at the Pinehurst Invitational High School Tournament Thursday at Pinehurst #8-The Centennial Course. New Bern HS won the team title with a two under par 286, while St. David’s shot its second-lowest team total of the year at 303. “We did well against a strong field,” said coach Chris Wilson. “This course is one of the most difficult to navigate because of the precise tee shots needed to be close to the pin. The greens are some of the biggest we play and the hardest to read at times.” Freshman Michael LaSasso shot an even par 72 to lead SDS. Davis Adams (74), Parker Smith (77) and Wells Armes (80) completed the Warriors team score.
