SPECIAL SPORTS UPDATE

Three Greater Lynchburg golfers are competing for state championships today, and Liberty Christian Academy will chase a team title Tuesday.

Amherst County's Caitlyn Baxter is looking to capture the Class 4 championship after finishing one stroke short last year. E.C. Glass golfers Preston Laughon and Nikko Guanzon are making their first state championship appearances.

Tuesday, Liberty Christian Academy will pursue the Class 3 team championship after finishing runner-up last year. The Bulldogs have spent the season rallying around a simple motto: One Team, One Goal.

Weekend rain forced the cancellation of Sunday's practice rounds at Cutalong at Tributer Resort, and tournament officials have implemented lift, clean and place rules for today's competition.
