Coach Kathy Hobson: “Except for Roni Hook, this was the first 18 hole competition for these girls.  Everyone gained valuable experience against some very quality 4A teams.  We had our ups and downs; playing conditions were cold and windy which is no excuse because everyone had to play in it.  But with younger girls lacking experience it is going to effect them more. Roni Hook came away with a birdie and a par on the day; Abby Muller, one par.

Despite not meeting our goal of finishing at least in the middle of the pack, the true highlight was another coach sharing that his players and their parents watching had made numerous positive comments about the Atlantic girls being friendly, showing good etiquette and just in general how they carried themselves on the course.  Marty and I see that every time we are out but it makes us very proud when others recognize the quality of girls we have.”
