“Sydney made a great showing at state. Her first round of 45 was her best 9-hole round,” said coach Melinda Stelling.
This wrapped up the Lady Jays’ golf season. As the season ended, coach Melinda Stelling said, “I would say just overall they all improved in their overall games because their scores improved throughout the whole season. I was most proud of the fact that they did improve as the year progressed and that we had a state qualifier.”
