HERRIN — Maxey put together a round for the ages at Herrin, carding a 33 to take medalist honors in a showing that had folks around the course talking, according to a report from southernillinoisnow.com.
A 33 is the kind of number that gets a golfer's name passed around the clubhouse for weeks, and it's the sort of early-season statement that sets a tone for the rest of the fall slate. No further detail on the field or the meet was included in the initial report, but medalist honors on a home course carry their own weight in a county that takes its high school sports seriously, whether the venue is a gridiron or a fairway.
Expect this one to come up again when postseason seedings start getting sorted out.
