Tiger golfers tripped up at Crestwood

Wednesday, October 1, 2008

CHICOPEE -- As a team, it was not one of the best days for Fort Scott High's golf team at the newly-dubbed Colgan Invitational at Crestwood Country Club here Tuesday.

As a team, the Tigers finished in sixth place with an 18-hole score of 453. Columbus won the team title, shooting 408. Carl Junction, Mo., was next at 411. Caney Valley was third at 424.

The Tigers didn't have any medalists but several of the players shot new personal lows for 18 holes, according to Fort Scott head coach Karen Curran.

Kacie Brown was the low scorer for the Tigers, shooting 55 on the front nine and 54 on the back for a total of 109.

"Kacie Brown was really steady throughout the tournament and just barely missed medaling," Curran said. "She played pretty well, but was a little disappointed with herself. She was hoping to be right around 100."

Riley Wunderly, moved up from the junior varsity for this tournament, shot 62-50--112. The 50 on the back nine was her low for the season over nine holes.

Cassie Organ was next for the Tigers at 61-52--113. That was followed by Shelby Blackburn's 61-58--119. The 58 was her career low for nine holes and her total was a career low for 18.

Morgan Morasch with next her 57-64--121 and Katie Bristley with a 64-76--140. Morasch's 57 and 121 were her career bests for nine and 18 holes, respectively.

The Tigers will go to Columbus today to play a nine-hole tournament. Monday, they will head to Anderson County to play 18 holes in the regular-season finale. It was also announced earlier this week that Anderson County will be the host site for the Class 4A Regional Tournament the following Monday, Oct. 13.

NOTES -- This year, Class 4A has been broken away from Classes 3A, 2A and 1A in girls' golf. This means that for the first time, Fort Scott and Uniontown will be playing in different Regionals. Uniontown, in fact, will host a Class 3-2-1A Regional....

This was originally slated to be Pittsburg's home tournament. Pittsburg, however, cancelled its season when no golfers came out for its team other than the ones from Colgan. Colgan and Girard took over hosting duties....
