The Crook County High School girls golf team has put themselves in good position going into the final day of the district golf tournament at Meadow Lakes Golf Course today.
After the first day of the tournament the Bend Lava Bears are in first place, shooting a 325 while the Cowgirls are in second place with a 355. Summit High School is in third place with a 371.
With the first two teams from the league earning state playoff berths, the Cowgirls have a 16-shot cushion to work with today.
"I have been in this situation too many times, so I'm not going to say `hey we've got it,'" said Head Coach Grant Patterson. "We still have to play well Tuesday."
JoBeth Hamon led the way for the Cowgirls, shooting an 85 while Sarah Crofcheck, Kersey Wilcox and Cami Williams all fired 90's. The Cowgirls fifth golfer, Rachel Kelso shot a 93.
"Cami and Kersey both careered today," said Patterson. "I think that shows the team strength that we have. Somebody will get down and somebody else will step up. That's what it takes. You need to have four or five players playing decently."
The Cowgirls round of 355 was the team's best round of the year, and they still have room for improvement as a couple of players struggled with their putting for the day.
Bend High School golfer Jen Hilts leads the tournament after firing a 73 while McKennon Cimmiyotti of Pendleton is second, four shots back.
Rounding out the field Mountain View is in fourth with a 381 followed by Hermiston (398), Pendleton (406), The Dalles/Wahtonka (410) and Madras (488).
The state golf tournament is next Monday and Tuesday, and the Intermountain Conference is expected to fare well there. Summit has won the state title each of the last two seasons, and Bend High finished in second place a year ago.
"We will have to see after Tuesday," said Patterson. "But I was very proud of the team today and I'm hoping that they will keep it going and get a chance to go to state because I think they would do well there." |
