Worth County won its home golf meet Wednesday as they had 173 strokes to 217 for Albany. The other two teams, North Harrison and Stanberry, only brought three players.
Bridgette Hightshoe, who finished the highest of any Tiger at state in the last 20+ years, is on a mission to do so again, getting a 39. She has finished first or second at most of her golf meets. The only Tiger to finish higher at state was April Miller (now Healy).
Six Tigers finished under 50 strokes in Wednesday’s meet. Georgia Taylor, the lone Northeast Nodaway student on the squad, finished second overall with a score of 42. She is putting up the kind of numbers that Jacqueline and Michelle Schulte did when Northeast had its own golf program 15 years ago, and she is only a freshman.
Finishing fourth overall after going out for golf for the first time was Abbi Brown. She shot a 45 and was very consistent, getting five strokes on seven of her nine holes. Marissa Schmitz shot a 47 and Eva Engel, who qualified for state each of the last two years, finished with 48.
The Tigers have record numbers of girls out for golf this year, including a lot of newcomers. One of the most pleasant surprises was Unique Brown. Placed in the third group, she finished with a score of 47, finishing with a birdie on the sixth hole and a three on the seventh, closing out strong to get her score.
Other participants this year are Brylea Paxson, Bailey Steele, Katie Fletchall, Emsley Spainhower, Arenna Galanakis, and Brynn Chapman.
After the meet, the team honored its seniors, Bridgette Hightshoe, Eva Engel, and Abbi Brown.
