Warden wrestling hosts annual golf fundraiser

WARDEN — On Saturday, the Warden High School wrestling program held its annual golf fundraiser at Sage Hills Golf Course. According to Warden assistant wrestling coach Alan Martinez, they exceeded last year’s total of $14,000 by raising roughly $16,000 this year. “Our head coach, Johnny Hernandez, says all the time, we have one of the best communities around,” Martinez said. “For whatever reason, there’s a lot of love for this program. There’s a lot of history, and our alumni always come by, and they show out and they take care of us, and then our kids and our future kids who are coming to the program get to benefit from that.” Tee off was at 9 a.m. Saturday and the weather was suitable for golfing with clear skies and reasonably warm weather. According to Martinez, the turnout hit maximum capacity to the point they had to borrow carts from other businesses ahead of time.
