Brownwood Lions junior golfer Sir Bubba Jones was recently named to the Texas High School Coaches Association Class 4A Super Elite Golf Team.
Jones was one of five Class 4A golfers selected along with Jack Bergen and Jorge Molinar III of Andrews, Kyle Doolittle of Davenport and state champion Jaxon Donaldson of Wimberley.
The THSCA Super Elite Teams consists of high school players nominated by current professional members of the Texas High School Coaches Association. The player must meet the THSCA award criteria to be nominated. The award recognizes student athletes across the state of Texas for their exemplary athletic achievement in their respective sport.
Each nomination will go to the S.E.T. (Super Elite Teams) Committee to determine the finalists who have made the Super Elite team in each classification. Super Elite teams will be honored after the state championships have been announced.
Jones helped guide the Lions to the team’s first appearance in the Class 4A boys golf state tournament in more than 30 years, where Brownwood placed sixth overall. Jones shot a 152 with rounds of 79 and 73 at state to finish in a tie for 13th place.
As a sophomore, Jones also qualified for state as an individual.
