JOHNSON CITY, TN (March 28, 2007) --- Ben Treadway, a senior golf standout from Science Hill High School has signed a letter of intent to attend Milligan College and play golf for the Buffs. Milligan golf coach Tony Wallingford made the announcement at a ceremony held at Science Hill.

Treadway was a main contributor on coach Josh Carter’s Science Hill state runner-up team in the fall season. He also helped lead the Hilltoppers to the Big-9 Conference, District 1-AAA and Region 1-AAA championships. At the District 1-AAA Tournament, Treadway finished third. He finished the season with a 75 stroke average along with a 2.9 handicap.

Wallingford is happy to have Treadway join the Buffs. “With three of our top five golfers graduating in May, we will be counting on Ben to contribute early in his career. We like Ben’s golf potential, but just as important is the fact he is a quality kid, an honor roll student and a nice fit for our program.”

Milligan won the 2004 and 2006 Appalachian Athletic Conference Golf Championships, and finished second in 2005. The Buffs were one stroke away from a Region XII title and a NAIA National Championship tournament appearance last season. 

Treadway will enroll in the fall and plans to major in accounting.
