“The guys played a great 18-hole round today,” stated Bryant coach Keith Dale. “I’d like to especially thank Mrs. Coach (Angel) Dale for stepping in with the boys team while I was away with the women’s team in Maumelle. She did a wonderful job.
“I’m very proud of both teams,” he continued. “Today we have had a lot of great scores posted and, as a coach, I’m so proud of everyone. All their hard work and dedication is paying off.”
