Barren County had a solid day from its younger golfers Tuesday to finish second in the Girls’ Region 3 Golf Tournament.
The Trojanettes’ only senior, Chloe Witcher, shot a 4-over par 75 to finish sixth as an individual. Meanwhile Briley King finished tied for eighth, and Riley Decker tied for 18th.

Which team and which individual would win was not in question most of Tuesday at Crosswinds Golf Course in Bowling Green.
Cumberland County’s Kenzie Willen shot 3-under 68 to beat Bowling Green’s Mary Douglas Childers by two strokes. Meanwhile, Bowling Green posted four of the Top 5 low rounds to win the team title by 73 strokes.
Bowling Green won the team title last season, while Barren was second then as well. For Willen, a senior, the title bookends her high school career. She won the region her freshman year.
The top two teams and top 10 individuals not on a team qualify for the first round of the state championship next week at Bardstown Country Club.
Glasgow’s Harlow Bale shot an 87 to make the cut.
