As Amory looks to repeat its 2007 Class 3A golf championship, the Panthers picked up two early wins to start the 2008 season.

Wednesday�s match featuring Class 3A and 5A�s individual champions from last season, Barrett Edens and Jeremy Self each finished 2-under par (34) for co-medalist honors, but Edens� Panthers (1-0) finished one stroke better, 151-152 to go to 1-0 to start the season.

Dane Christensen finished with a 34, followed by Dylan McGonagill�s 38 and Shayne Grant�s 43.

�Very good win for Amory golf,� head coach Charlie Llewelyn said.
The Golden Wave fell to 0-1.

In Pontotoc Thursday, Amory�s 159 beat New Albany by three strokes, while Oxford and Pontotoc fell back with 181 and 185 respectively.

�Another good win,� coach Charlie Llewelyn said. �New Albany is a fine team. Pontotoc and Oxford will improve as the season continues.�

Barrett Edens barely missed medalist honors with his 35, followed by Shayne Grant�s 40 and Dane Christensen and Dylan McGonagill with a 42 each.

Pontotoc�s Cliff Hannah was the medalist with a 34.
