ABINGDON, Va. – The Emory & Henry College Department of Athletics held the 11th Annual I-HEY Golf Tournament at Glenrochie Country Club in Abingdon on Friday, May 11. Over $27,000 was raised at the event with 128 golfers participating.

For the fourth consecutive year, the field was split into two flights, Blue and Gold, and a first and second place trophy was given for each flight. The team of Ron Bales, Larry Bales, Chad Bales, and Hunter Green shot a 53 to take home first place trophies for the Blue Flight. Second place, with a score of 56, went to Joe Waters II, J.W.

I-HEY is the official fundraising arm of Emory & Henry College's athletic department. For more than 65 years, alumni and friends have supported athletic programs at E&H by joining I-HEY (I Help Every Year). Contributions help teams purchase equipment and pay for travel to and from competition. Gifts earmarked to I-HEY or to any one of the Wasps' 22 intercollegiate athletic teams help young men and women become leaders on the field and court as well as in the classroom.
