Girls Varsity Golf

At the Red Raider Invitational, Varsity Girls Golfer Yamila Kuchta led the way with a score of 83. The next day at the Shadow Hills competition, the Varsity team shot for 342 and improved 37 shots from the day before. The total score for the Tigers was 721, placing them fourth overall in the Varsity Division.

Frenship Girls Golf Coach Roger Whipkey said the team is young but shows a lot of promise.

“We have only one Senior, Maci Waggoner, and many talented young players,” Whipkey said. “We replaced three Seniors from last year who were the top three seeded players on the team, including Lainey Cristan who was the District runner-up, Regional qualifier, and is now playing collegiately in New Orleans, so we are going to take our lumps early, but I don't know if I have ever had a more focused and hard-working team. My expectations are sky-high for them to compete for a district championship and return the team to the regional tournament.”

The Tigers will compete again next weekend at the Rockwind Classic on October 1st and 2nd at the Gaines Country Golf Club in Gaines County and the Rockwind Golf Club in Hobbs, NM
