Approximately 210 seniors started their last year of school today with a parade.

After their arrival, teachers, staff, and underclassmen welcomed the seniors into the gym.
Barton Rutledge Wins Greenwood Invitational
Allen County-Scottsville senior Barton Rutledge made six birdies in a three-under round of 69 to capture first place in the Greenwood Invitational Monday (August 4) at the Bowling Green Country Club.
Rutledge---a Western Kentucky University commit---birdied the par-5 second hole, the par-4 six hole, and the par-4 eighth hole to post a 33 on the first nine holes. On the back nine, three boogies threatened Rutledge’s chances for the win. However, a birdie on the par-five 14th hole and back-to-back birdies on the 17th and 18th holes gave the Patriot senior a one stroke victory over freshman Miller Osbourne from Bethlehem.
The result was Rutledge’s first victory of the season after a series of solid finishes in tournaments in recent weeks in Franklin, Campbellsville, Bowling Green, and Glasgow. Rutledge’s win came at the BGCC course where he tied for second last fall in the Leachman Buick-GMC-Cadillac Kentucky High School Athletic Association state golf championship.
Senior teammate Owen Talbott posted a nine-over-par round of 81 to tie for 43rd in the 116-player field. Talbott shot a 38 on the front nine prior to dropping to a 43 on the last nine holes. AC-S freshman Lane Temple carded an 87, eighth-grader Simon Stamper finished with an 88, and junior Kaden Stinson closed with an 89.
The Patriots host Warren East Thursday afternoon around 4:30 at the Scottsville Country Club in their first head-to-head match of the season. Saturday, the golfers return to tournament play at the Shady Hollow Golf Course.
