Brentwood High School golfers Emma Schroder and Katelyn Verni qualified for the TSSAA Division I Class AA State Golf Championship on Tuesday, Sept. 29.

The two Bruins advanced as individuals from the Region 5-AA tournament at Franklin Bridge, posting rounds of 76 (+5) and 88 (+17), the BHS Athletic Department said on X. They will compete at Sevierville Golf Club, where the state championship runs Thursday, Oct. 8, through Friday, Oct. 9. A coaches meeting and practice round is scheduled for Wednesday, Oct. 7.

Schroder and Verni reached regionals by advancing as individuals from the District 10-AA tournament on Sept. 22 at Franklin Bridge. Schroder shot 82 (+12) and Verni shot 89 (+19) that day, according to a BHS Athletic Department district recap on X. The Brentwood girls team finished fourth out of eight schools with a 171, missing a team berth at regionals by two strokes behind third-place Ravenwood's 169.

Both golfers improved on their district scores at regionals.

The Bruins faced a tough regular season, falling to Nolensville (91-78 on Sept. 9), Ravenwood (94-80 on Sept. 10) and Page (95-78 on Sept. 15), according to the Brentwood schedule. No BHS girls golfers appeared in the Region 5-AA results at last year's tournament, held at Bear Trace at Tims Ford State Park, according to the Williamson Herald.

Schroder and Verni are not the only Bruins heading to Sevierville. BHS boys golfer George Laskaris also qualified for state out of the same Region 5-AA tournament, firing a 66 (-5), the BHS Athletic Department reported on X. The BHS boys team finished third at 287 (+3), behind Page (261) and Centennial (285).

Tickets for the state tournament cost $13 per day in advance through GoFan and $15 at the gate, according to TSSAA. Live scoring will be available at golf.tssaa.org.
