The Callaway Junior Tour High School Series, sponsored by Tri-State Roofing and Sheet Metal and hosted by the West Virginia Golf Association (WVGA), opened its 2024 season with the WVGA Capital City Classic at Edgewood Country Club in Sissonville.
Each school has a team of four players, with the best three scores counting as the team’s total score. The series, a partner of Callaway Golf and conducted by the West Virginia Golf Association, featured a field of 131 golfers on 33 high school teams from across West Virginia.
Shady Spring High School won the opening event of the four-event series with a combined score of two over par 215. Team members were Tyler Beard, Cooper Ward, Jack Williams and Grant Winkler.

- Lee Willard, George Washington A, (-1) 70;
