2008 Golf Scramble

  The annual Clay HS golf scramble held at the Shawnee State Golf Course on Saturday, August 9, 2008, went extremely well.  There were twenty-five (25) teams (100 golfers) that participated in the event.

The Clay athletic department would like to thank all the individual golfers, the Shawnee State Golf Course, Coca Cola (for the beverages, donation, and signs), the individual hole sponsors (listed below), Coach Pelfrey and family, Dick McCleese, Bob Piatt, and everyone else who made the event take place.  Your donations, efforts, and participation help not only the Clay HS golf team but all the student-athletes in the Clay Local School District.  We could not do this without your support.
