Girls golf takes second at Tokatee

The girls golf team played in the La Pine Invitational Tournament at the Quail Run Golf Course on Monday, April 30, and walked away with a third-place finish. Three days later, Sisters bettered their team score by over 20 strokes to take second place at the Robinson Memorial Tournament at the Tokatee Golf Club in Blue River.

On Monday, La Pine took championship honors with a team score of 420. Ashland was runner-up at 465, Sisters was 10 strokes back with a score of 475 for third, and Cottage Grove took fourth with a score of 526.

Codie Lagao led the Outlaws with a score of 112. Lagao bettered her score by 16 strokes on the back nine. Holly Chapman was one stroke back at 113. Delanie Stevens shot a 123, and Erin Wren carded a 127. Hailey Zadow, in her first 18-hole tournament of the season, rounded out Sisters scores with a 132.

Lagao finished eighth overall and Chapman was ninth overall out of a field of 27 players.

"This was the girls' best outing by far," said Coach Bill Mitchell.

In Thursday's action, La Pine finished first with a team score of 389 and Sisters was runner-up at 454. McKenzie, Cottage Grove, Oakridge and Trinity Lutheran also participated but were unable to bring a full team.

Lagao played a solid front nine for a 45 and went on to log a 52 on the back for a 97 finish. Chapman posted a 108, Wren carded a 122 and Stevens was five strokes back at 127. Zadow finished with a 134.

Lagao's 97 earned her a fifth-place overall finish and Chapman was 11th overall.

Mitchell said, "It was good to have five girls finish 18 holes again. This is the first time in a couple of years we've had a girl break 100, and it was nice to see Codie do that today."

"Haley, in her first year out, has really filled in well for us at the fifth position as Adi (Goodwin) is out for the season with a hand fracture," added Mitchell.
