The golf season teed off last week with the Simmons Bank Wildcat Invitational at the Lions Club. El Dorado’s girls posted their first victory of the season on Thursday, shooting 300 to win at Bryant.
“Proud of the way the girls managed Hurricane,” said El Dorado coach Chris Ezell. “It has lots of sand, water and ob on the course. They managed to avoid a lot of those and came away with a close win.”
Daphny Chen shot 91 to finish as medalist runner-up on Thursday after opening the season with a 90 at the Lions Club on Monday.
Parkers Chapel’s Lorali Barnes shot 92 on Monday and then won medalist with a 48 over 9 holes on Wednesday against Junction City and Smackover.
The Lady Dragons won on Wednesday led by Karla Castillo (51), Valarie Kidwell (52) and Makayla Knight (53).
On the boys’ side, El Dorado’s Peyton Yarbrough posted the best score, shooting 77 at the Lions Club on Monday. The Wildcats’ Jay Reep shot 85 at Hurricane with Yarbrough and Caden Meadows each shooting 87.
