One Stroke Behind Though golf coach Mike Ray originally predicted the girls to finish first in district and the boys to at least con- tend for district champions, both golf teams fell short of their goals. The girls' team had trou- ble at the Decatur and Sanger tournaments and failed to place but then came back to place second in the district tourney 'in Wolf City. I enjoy the challenge of playing on the golf team be- cause you have to have a lot of skill to shoot a low score, said junior Christi Barrett. From last year to this year, our scores went down 20 to 30 strokes as a team. With seniors Paul Austin, feff Clark, Dean Mayfield, and leff Snider, and junior 8 8 SPORTS Rob Roper heading up the boys' team, Coach Ray had hoped the boys' team would be in the running for district, but inconsistent play at times put them out of contention. The A team fin- ished with a sub-par fourth in district play while the B team came out with eighth in district. lndividually, Paul Austin was first medalist and Rob Roper was third medalist at the Aledo Tournament. leff Clark was second medalist at the Sanger Tournament. Playing on a team with a group of guys who l like and with a coach who knew how to treat us helped to make this a rewarding sea- son, said senior Dean May- field. SWING.
