A dozen young area golfers are entered in the 38th annual GSGA Junior Sectional Challenge Match being held Tuesday and Wednesday at The Georgia Club at Statham. The event includes boys and girls from seven sections of the state competing against others in their age groups.

Area players on the Northwest team include Chatsworth’s Chris Kazmierski and Calhoun’s Blake Urbano in 16-17 boys; LaFayette’s Josh James, Kurt Ingram and Keaton Stanfield in 14-15 boys; and Trion’s Ethan Dendy and Calhoun’s Seth Culpepper and K.J. Sturkey in 12-13 boys. They will play 18 holes each day. Playing nine holes a day will be Calhoun’s Katie Rose Rawls in 12-13 girls, Chatsworth’s Savannah Satterfield in 11-under girls and LaFayette’s Gage Smith and Dalton’s Davis Smith in 11-under boys.

The Northwest section finished second to the Southwest last year.
