During the season each of the girls played her own personal best round and showed constant dedication to the team. The team was young, most of the girls being only in their second season for golf, but it will offer a definite challenge next season. Donna Kirkham, the only returning senior, was captain of the team. Jodi Stayback was awarded Most Valuable player; Kim Rosentreter was Most Improved. Donna tees off. Girls’ Golf 25
