Emma Buell, once again, showed her dominance in girls' golf during the sectional championships held at the exceptionally manicured Country Club of Missouri in Columbia. Emma placed second in the field with a 78, one shot out of first, on the very fast, demanding greens of the private country club. She will advance to the state championship next week in Springfield. Kate Fesler shot a 100 and Emily Yn shot a 114. While not advancing, they represented their school and themselves superbly.
TENNIS
The tennis team competed in individual districts this past weekend. The girls played some great matches, especially in the cold weather on Friday! Izzy Cancila placed fourth over-all in singles play. And, congratulations to Lizzie Barlow who won her third straight district singles title and has earned the chance to play in sectionals in at 4 pm today in Kirksville, Mo.
