Head coach Bo Redman of the Appalachian State men’s golf team last Thursday announced the signing of two prep golfers for the 2019/2020 season in North Carolina’s Addison Beam – and Centre’s own Nick Sawyer.
Sawyer earned six letters in golf at Cedar Bluff High School where he has been on the team since seventh grade.
This past season, he consistently posted scores in the low 70s during tournament play and won the 2018 1A-2A sub-state title, and 2018 Alabama Junior Open Championship. He also boasts 37 other wins during his tenure, which helped him earn MVP honors on his team.
Coach Redman said “Nick is exactly the type of young man that we are looking for to play golf at Appalachian State University. I expect him to build on the successes that he has had as a junior golfer and I’m excited to be able to watch his game at the next level; his potential is unlimited.” Sawyer is the first person in the history of Cherokee County, Alabama, to earn a Division I golf scholarship.
