With the lowest 3 9-hole scores counting toward the team score overall for the girls, the boys took the lowest 4 scores. The Lady Indians won their match 154-177, winning by more than 20 strokes. Junior Hannah Lundy carded a 50 to lead the girls, and freshmen Madeline Martin (51) and Mallory Higgins (53) were the lowest 3 scores.

Meanwhile, the Indians shaved 10 strokes off their last competition score but wound up a few strokes shy in a 224-221 final. Canon Brooks led the Indians with a 43, a new personal best for this season.

“We just have to learn how to finish strong as a team in order to solidify those winning scores,” says coach Hannah Satterfield. “Overall, I feel like we’re making improvements and setting ourselves up for success. Each match brings different scenarios into play, and each player can celebrate their successes and learn from their mistakes on the course.”

The Lady Indians are back at it Thursday in an 18-hole event at Athens Country Club, while the Indians compete next Tuesday against Banks County.
