At Crooked Creek Golf Course last Wednesday, Mills won medalist honors by shooting a one-under 35 at the Tri-Nine Conference golf meet. The senior led the way for Cary's first win in a conference meet since the turn of the millennium.

As the final team and individual scores were posted on the clubhouse leader board, a sense of excitement permeated through the Cary team as they saw each score. The Imps, who entered and exited the match as the Tri-Nine's fourth-place team, were giddy with their historic and shocking upset.

First-year coach Carl Chaney said the Imps hadn't won a conference match since Green Hope's inception in the 2000 season. The Imps score of 147 was a stroke lower than that of second-place Athens Drive.

"When I saw the Green Hope score, I knew that we had beat them and that's the barometer," Chaney said. "So really it was just whenever they posted that Holly Springs score, we knew we had it."
