For the second time in 5 years the Lady Chiefs Golf Team made an appearance in the MHSAA State Finals.  This was the first time the team competed in the Division 2 Tournament.  The Finals were held at Forest Akers West Golf Club on the campus of Michigan State University over two days and included the top 18 teams in the state.

Day 1

The first round was held in some very difficult conditions with cold temperatures and wind making the difficult Forest Akers course play even tougher.  The Lady Chiefs fought through a bout of nerves early, and finished the day with a team score of 419.  Sophomore Andie Martin turned in the best round of the day for the Chiefs posting a score of 100.  Senior Averey Potter finished only 1 shot back carding a score of 101 and Senior Captain Erin Bressler posted a 106.  The Lady Chiefs last score was posted by Senior Capitan Sylvia Floyd with a round of 112.  Sophomore Anna Puschmann saw action in the Finals for the Chiefs and posted a 120.  The Lady Chiefs ended the first round in 17th place just 4 shots back to the only other local team, Trenton High School.

Day 2 

The second round started in very nice conditions with the exception of chilly temperatures.  Unfortunately, these conditions were not going to stick around for long.  The course started very wet due to rain during the night.  The temperatures dropped steadily from the first hole and within a few hours the players were forced off the course as a thunderstorm came through.  After a 2 hour delay the Lady Chiefs were sent back out and played for another 40 minutes until a 1/2 inch of hail forced play to be halted to squeegee the hail off the greens.  When everything was said and done the Lady Chiefs had posted an impressive score in what is arguably the toughest weather conditions this team has ever play in.  The standout for Day 2 was Senior Captain Sylvia Floyd who was able to improve her score by nearly 30 shots to post a great score of 84, including an eagle on hole 3.  Sophomore Andie Martin added another very good round of 96 and Senior Averey Potter posted a 104.  Senior Captain Erin Bressler carded the final score for the Lady Chiefs with a 110 and Junior Jillian Chapp saw action in the State Finals and shot 130.  The Lady Chiefs posted a 394 for a team score in round 2, an improvement of 25 shots from Round 1.  The Lady Chiefs finished the tournament with a 2 round total of 813 to finish in 15th place ahead of Trenton 819, Midland Dow 825, and Sturgis 842.

Congratulations to the Lady Chiefs Golf Team on an outstanding season and great finish in a tough field in the State Finals.   It is now time to get to work and start to prepare for next season to continue the upward swing of this program.  Congratulations to Seniors Erin Bressler, Sylvia Floyd, and Averey Potter.  We will miss you next year and good luck with whatever you future holds for you.
