Jordan Shephard, an individual qualifier for the Region II Championship, finished in 11th place at Twin Rivers Golf Club in Waco April 24 and 25, 2008. Jordan shot 78 the first day and followed that up with a solid round of 74 the second day. His total of 152 was only four shots out of qualifying for the State Tournament. The course played very difficult with the strong winds that blew both days of the tournament. Congratulations on a great showing in Regionals.

The Men have several players returning next year including All-District players Sameer Paul and Chandler Jennings and hopefully they can improve over this year's finish and make some waves in the 2009 State Tournament.

Congratulations to all the Men on their great play through out the entire year!

The Women's Varsity Golf Team finished in Seventh Place in the Region II Championship. The tournament was held April 22 and 23, 2008 at Cottonwood Creek in Waco.

The team was led on day one by Michelle Hartenstein who shot a career low round of 77 that included a one under par score of 35 on the back nine. Michelle shot 86 on day two to finish in a tie for 10th place individually. The team was led on day two by Haley Plotkin who shot 82 (her best round at Cottonwood Creek which is one of her least favorite courses). All of the women who played in the Regional Tournament will return next year and hopefully they can improve over this year's finish and make it to the State Tournament.

The Team ended up four shots behind Georgetown in second place. The Women were lead by Cheryl Feldmaier who shot 84 to finish in fourth place overall and earn First Team All-Distirct honors. Michelle Hartenstein shot 86 to finish in fifth place overall and to also earn First Team All-District Honors.
