Varsity 1 is headed to Lubbock to play in the Lubbock ISD Invitational this weekend. The team hopes to travel out there and come back with one of their first titles of the new golf season and also more confidence about grasping that state title.

This tournament, like Varsity 1’s will take place over a two-day period this weekend. The Bart Granger Memorial is a tournament that high school teams play in at Pecan Valley golf course.
