It was a great day for Pirates golf as the varsity boys posted a 162 score at Olde Dutch Mill Golf Course in Lake Milton on Monday.

Southeast senior James Morgan (left), with teammate Cole Bruno, use their hands to signal Morgan’s nine-hole course record score of 29. Morgan set the mark on Monday, using two eagles and three birdies to get to 7-under.

Senior James Morgan broke his own record (31) set earlier this season by firing an outstanding 29 on the Par 36 golf course.

Breaking his own record by two strokes, Morgan was on fire, carding two eagles and three birdies on his way to that 29, 7-under-par score.

Teammates added solid scores to the total, including Cole Bruno 42, Logan Blankenship 45, Alex Peelish 46, Ethan Shodd 47 and Owen Dombroski 49.

Liberty had just one golfer on the roster: Alex Hauser, who fired a 60, but the team did not register a team score.

Southeast is now 5-3 overall and 4-2 in the MVAC Grey Division.
