Hendersonville High School’s Bryce Lewis has committed to play golf at Middle Tennessee State University.
Hendersonville High junior Bryce Lewis won the Tennessean/Metro Parks Schooldays Golf Tournament.
Lewis, the 2016 Tennessean/Metro Parks Schooldays champion, announced his decision via Twitter on Monday afternoon.
“I called Coach (Brennan) Webb and told him I’d love to come play golf for MTSU, and he seemed excited and I’m excited, too,” said Lewis, who was also considering Lipscomb and Vanderbilt. “I was just ready to get it over with and ready to make a decision. I felt like it was best for me and my family.”
Lewis, a two-time TSSAA state tournament qualifier, finished tied for 18th at last year’s state tournament, shooting 2-over 146 at WillowBrook Golf Club in Manchester. The Commandos finished tied for third in the team competition a season ago.
“The goal is going to be to win the district, win the region and win the state championship,” Lewis said of this year’s Hendersonville squad. “We lost two seniors last year (Austin Peay signee Austin Lancaster and Tennessee Tech signee Charles Seals), but we’ve got some young kids coming in that have some talent. I think we’ll definitely be contenders in the state tournament.”
