Junior high girls again 2nd, boys 6th in area golf tourney
The third round of the area junior high golf tournament in Fort Stockton
on Saturday produced pretty much the same results for Pecos' boys and girls
golf teams _ the girls placed second behind Andrews, while the boys placed
sixth after finishing fifth the first two weeks of the five-round tourney.
The girls shot a 225 over nine holes of play on Saturday to finish 21
strokes in back of Andrews, which shot a 204 for the day. Meanwhile, Eagle
golfer Shelly Martinez won medallist honors for the third week in a row with
a round of 43, six strokes ahead of Andrews' Randie Robb.
Overall, the team scores have been consistant throughout the first three
rounds of the tournament. Pecos' 225 on Saturday was their low score so far,
following a 227 on their home course on April 13 and a 228 in Monahans on
April 20. Their 680 total for three rounds compares with Andrews' 617, while
Fort Stockton is in third place at 722 after shooting their high round for
the tournament at home, a 251. Monahans is fourth overall with a 739 after
shooting the third-best round on Saturday, a 244.
Aside from Martinez' 43 score, Evelyn Flores was in ninth place in the
individual standings for the second straight week, shooting a 58. Dina Ortiz
was one stroke behind at 59, while Eleaba Mason and Silvia Baeza both shot
65s for the other `A' team scores. Pecos' other golfers, Stephanie Galindo,
Brittany Sotelo, Melissa Mendoza and Sarah Wentworth, shot 71, 71, 72 and
74 at Fort Stockton.
Fort Stockton `B' beat the Prowlers' `A' team on Saturday, shooting a
246, while Andrews `B' shot a 239. Kermit had a 262 and Monahans a 269 for
the other team scores.
The boys, who shot a 399 on their home course and a 428 in Monahans on
April 20, went up to 447 this past Saturday in Fort Stockton and are at 1,274
for 54 holes of play. Andrews shot a 351 to finish first in the tournament,
and lead overall with a 1,050 total, while Kermit is second at 367-1,089
and Monahans, which also shot a 367, is third, at 1,099.
Alex Morales again was the only `A' team golfer for Pecos to break 100,
shooting a 97, though coach Ronnie Daniel said one of the Eagles' new golfers,
Joseph Tarin, shot a 99 in his first week of competition, playing as an individual
medallist.
Jonathan Garcia had a 106, Zach Morton a 130 and Michael Lee a 136 for
the other `A' team scores, while John Paul Salcido shot a 146 for the other
individual score.
Monahans `B' had a 434, Andrews `B' a 438, Fort Stockton `B' a 464 and
Kermit `B' had a 468 for the other team scores.
The area junior high tournament has two rounds remaining over the next
two weekends, at Kermit and Andrews.
