The local 1A schools and Nocona competed at their district golf tournaments last week, with Nocona finishing up earlier this week due to weather, at the local Indian Oaks Golf Course.
Both Prairie Valley teams won the 1A tournament while the Nocona Lady Indian team finished first in the 2A tournament and the boy’s team got third place.
The Lady Indians total score was 482 and they were led by Jessie Howard who shot 111. Paige Davis (115), Avery Crutsinger (126) and Heidi Atteberry (129) also added to the team’s total. Alexa Sosa’s score of 130 just missed the top four cut while Estella Womble shot 140.
The Nocona boy’s team third place finish just missed the cut of qualifying for the regional tournament. The Indians shot 357, with Landon Fatheree leading the team shooting 82. Jake Pribble and Kutter Cabrera both shot 90 while Jentry Miller shot 95 to round out the team’s total score. Caleb Cavallaro’s 114 score did not go into the team’s total.
The Prairie Valley Lady Bulldogs team got first place shooting 476 and were led by Linzie Priddy who shot 100. Avaree Woodyard (110), Abbie Pepper (128) and Kiley McCracken (138) added to the team’s total. Maloree Woodyard shot 146, but it was not included in the team’s total.
The Prairie Valley boy’s team got first place and shot 428, led by Dayne Sadler who shot 83. The Bulldogs also had Sawyer Bray (106), Case Carpenter (116 and Jarrett Horton (123) add to the team total. James Wells shot 126, but it was not included in the team’s total.
The Gold-Burg boy’s team was the only other 1A team to qualify for the regional tournament, finishing second overall with a score of 454, edging out Saint Jo by five strokes. Paul Jones led the team with a 107 score. Payton Epperson and Levi Hellinger both shot 111 while Keelyn Case shot 125 to add to the team’s total. Brayden Odom’s score of 135 was not included in the team’s total.
Both Saint Jo team’s were one spot from qualifying for regionals, finishing in third place. The good news was both teams top players did well enough to qualify for the regional tournament individually.
Julian Luna shot 109 and Payzlie Cervantes shot 130, which were good enough to move on.
