In their fourth consecutive appearance at the UIL State Tournament, the Gunter Tigers Boys Golf team captured the 3A State Championship, bringing home the gold
Leading the way was Austin Anderson, who delivered an outstanding performance to earn the individual state title
The team’s success was guided by Coach Joe Bullard, whose leadership and dedication helped carry the Tigers to this victory.
This victory is a testament to the hard work, dedication, and perseverance of our student-athletes and coaches. We couldn’t be more proud of the way they represented Gunter on the state’s biggest stage.
