in the West Central Conference. The circuit returns five of last season’s seven

does not compete in girls’ golf and North Putnam did not put a squad on the

13th at Deer Creek near Clayton. The Eagles return their top two
individuals from a year ago. Heather Hughes will occupy the number one spot
while Grace Aker will hold down the second spot. Optimism is high at South
Putnam because both of those players are only juniors.
the conference meet in Julia Porter. Porter went on to qualify for the state
finals later in the year. That is no small feat because all of the West Central
teams feed into the
regional where golfers normally go to die unless they are wearing the host
colors.
Cloverdale was hit hard by graduation but returns their top
player in Kayla Langdon. Overall, however, the Clovers bring back only two of
their top five players. Greencastle is very young but should be improved.
Chelsea Samuels is expected to be the top scorer for the Tiger Cubs. Cascade
finished fourth in last year’s competition and does not boast any of the top
individual players returning to action. However, the Cadets should boast the
most balance of any team at the meet.
Many of the schools will compete in the Terre Haute South
Invitational on the twelfth of August. At the end of the season, the
schools will travel west to Northview for sectional competition, while Cascade
and
will feed into the Brownsburg sectional.
