GIRLS GOLF MOVES TO REGIONAL ROUND SATURDAY

The regional round of the 33rd Annual Girls Golf State Tournament Series takes place Saturday, Sept. 24 at seven courses around the state. The top three teams at each site, along with the top three individuals, including ties, not with an advancing team will earn a spot in the state finals next week.

 

Top-ranked and defending state champion Penn had an impressive showing in the sectional played at Juday Creek in Granger last Saturday and will meet up with other regional qualifiers at Beechwood Golf Course in LaPorte. The Kingsmen put up a 293 to top all teams state-wide as all four scoring players carded sub-80 rounds. Senior Julia Potter’s 69 earned medallist honors and also the state’s low mark as well. Teammates Laura and Anne Ormson added a 72 and 73, respectively, and Erin Buttrey turned in a 79.

 

No. 2 Noblesville’s 303 at Bent Tree in Westfield and No. 3 Martinsville’s 309 at Cascades in Bloomington were the second and third-best team scores of the weekend. The Millers will head to Westwood Country Club in New Castle for the regional while the Artesians will host action at Foxcliff Golf Club.

 

After Potter, five other individuals recorded sub-72 scores: Abby Cotter of Noblesville (70) at Bent Tree; defending state champion Angela Gauck of North Decatur (70) at Greensburg Country Club; Lina Pasquali of East Noble (70) who defeated Raquel Hopton of Fort Wayne Snider (70) in a playoff at Cobblestone in Kendallville and; Brebeuf Jesuit’s Aimee Neff (71) at Bent Tree.

 

Western, which placed third in its sectional at Chippendale in Kokomo, will be looking for its fifth consecutive regional championship at Meshingomesia Country Club in Marion this weekend.

 

Barring any weather delays, results from each site will be posted to the IHSAA website as they become available from the hosts. Also, pairings and tee-times for the state finals are scheduled to be available Monday morning as long as play is completed at all seven venues.

 

Looking ahead to next week, media members who will be covering individuals or teams at the state finals should apply for credentials as soon as possible.

FOOTBALL STATE TOURNAMENT DRAW SET FOR SUNDAY, OCT. 2

Pairings for the 33rd Annual State Football Tournament Series will be drawn on Sunday, Oct. 2 at the IHSAA Office in Indianapolis. The draw will be broadcast live beginning at 6 p.m. Indianapolis time on the IHSAA Championship Radio Network and produced by WIBC Radio (1070 AM) in Indianapolis. Bob Lovell of Indiana Sports Talk and Vince Welch of WIBC will serve as hosts.

 

Upon conclusion of the 90-minute broadcast, the complete pairings will be placed on the IHSAA website at www.ihsaa.org.

 

One slight change to this year’s draw is that, unlike in previous years, the second team drawn in each first-round game will serve as the host. Teams drawing a bye into the second round will continue to be the road team, however.

 

Members of the media and the general public are welcome to attend the pairings show, however there is limited space available in the building.

 

A list of radio affiliates scheduled to carry the broadcast will be included in next week’s release. Any interested radio station wishing to carry the show should contact Mark Higdon of Associated Sports Productions at 317-633-1462.

 

 

SHERIDAN’S BUD WRIGHT LOOKING FOR 300th CAREER COACHING VICTORY FRIDAY

Longtime Sheridan football coach Larry “Bud” Wright will be looking for his 300th career coaching victory when his Class A No. 7 Blackhawks (4-1) visit Delphi (1-4) this Friday for a 7 p.m. contest.
