Ladycats fare well in FW Junior

Six Aledo Ladycats and one former member of the squad competed in the Fort Worth Junior Golf Association Girls Championship last week and two finished as runner-up in their respective divisions.

All were competing in the 14-18 age category.

Sanaa' Lemen, a recent graduate, placed second in the First Flight of Division I with a four-round total of 342. She put together rounds of 95, 80, 82 and 85, finishing six shots back of first place.

Lemen was one of six playing in Division I.

Also placing second was Reagan Gilliland in the Third Flight. She posted rounds of 99, 94, 101 and 96 for a total of 390, a dozen back of the winner.

Kennedi Parker took fourth place in the Third Flight with a 396 (103-104-101-88), Kyla Morales was sixth in the Flight Flight, shooting 351 (87-81-96-87), Emily Crick took seventh in the Second Flight at 364 (93-87-93-91) and Harper Price finished seventh in the Third Flight, shooting 443 (112-112-113-106).

Karlee Shaw competed in Division II, which played two rounds. She shot a 197 (100-97) to place seventh.

The tournament took place over four days, July 10-13, on five different courses. Division I was played at Meadowbrook on Monday, at Squaw Creek on Tuesday, at Mira Vista Country Club on Wednesday and at Rivercrest Country Club on Thursday. Division II was played at Meadowbrook on Monday and at Pecan Valley Hills Course on Tuesday.

“That’s a long four days of golf in the heat. It makes it that much more difficult to play really well every day,” Aledo Coach Brian Mourning said. “I’m glad they got a chance to compete. I’m proud of all the kids’ efforts.”

The boys championship was taking place at press time with Bearcats Jett Moore, Cade Moore, Braden Stokes, Grayson Freeman, Helton Mosiello, William Kirkman, Brian Yarbrough and Johnnie Reed expected to play.
