Youth, inexperience prove no handicap for girls’ golf team Young is the single word most fitting to describe the girls golf team. With only one senior, five sophomores, and two freshmen, Coach Janet Usher faced the challenge of molding a group which could compete with more experienced teams. She did just this. The team finished 8-2 and qualified for the one tournament, where they placed second. Despite scores of 86 from sophomore Kelli Varraio and 97 from senior Samantha Powers, the team placed fourth in the state tournament. Coach Usher expressed special admiration for the play of freshman Candy Schwingdorf, who achieved a state tournament score twelve strokes lower than her zone tally. Boulder City and Valley High School provided the toughest competition and the only regular season losses for the Chargers. “Everyone contributed to the success of the season.” Coach Usher affirmed. “I was very pleased with the team effort. In every match we were able to get the scores we needed to pull us through. Girls’ Golf: Amy Houdcrshcldt. Candy Schwingdorf. Jamie Dallimorc. Kelli Varrato. Rhonda Hickman. Jcannic McAllister.
