Coaches Comments: " What a great way to end the Inaugural year of MCJHS Girls Golf! I am so proud of these young ladies and especially  Miley Kennard, our STATE CHAMPION! She has set the bar high for future Jr. Lady Aces with her +3, 75. Miley has been golfing for several years and has earned her place in school history as the first Individual State Champion in girls golf. Not far behind her was Zeme Moore in 3rd place with her very impressive 91. Our final medal winner was Elyse Swanson, placing 11th with her 104. These three girls along with Ava Brumagin will join the MCHS Lady Aces in the fall. I am so excited to add these powerful golfers to our team! We are truly blessed with Amazing young ladies who love the game of golf. I am in awe of their dedication and determination to be a part of this team and the goals these girls set is evident in how they play! Congratulations to these young ladies and their families! Golf is a family sport for sure."
