Hopkins County Chamber Connection

By Butch Burney

 

Congratulations to the golf team of Alliance Bank, the winners of the 34th Annual Hopkins County Chamber of Commerce Golf Tournament last Friday at Sulphur Springs Country Club.

We had a total field of 43 teams competing for the tournament championship. The Alliance Bank team comprised Kevin Monk, Carter Monk, Jason Thompson, Jase Thompson, Mike Jumper, and Craig English.

Alliance Bank and Interstate Body Shop tied with rounds of 47, and Alliance won on a scorecard playoff. Interstate Body Shop comprised Chuck Sickles, Haden Sickles, Randy Blackmon, Kason Childress, Zac Blackmon, and Brody Blackmon.

Third place was the Hidden Lakes Hunting Resort team, composed of Cord Burnett, Joe Wolcik, Daniel Cerretani, Thomas Jenkins, JW Burnett, and Chris Hass.

Thanks to all our sponsors!
