he Waynesville Lady Tiger golf team hosted a quadrangular match with Rolla, Dixon, and Crocker today at the Piney Valley Golf Course on Ft. Leonard Wood. The course was in great shape as it was prepared for their club championships this weekend and made for a great setting on the Tiger's Senior Night. The meet was won by Rolla with a team total of 220, Crocker second at 227, Waynesville 238, and Dixon came in with a 254. The Tiger's Senior Victoria Hooker was the meet medalist with a 41.

Hooker got off to a slow start after hitter her tee shot into the water. She soon settled down and nearly had a hole in one on the par 3, 3rd hole and tapped in from 8 inches for birdie. After a beautiful 240 yard drive down the middle on the long par 5, 4th hole, she placed her second shot near the green. She followed that with a crowd roaring chip in for an eagle, 3. I have tried to stress to her the last two seasons that she is never out of a hole or a match due to her shot-making ability. It was great to see her play well tonight after a bad round on Tuesday.

During out pre-match briefing I commended the Dixon and Crocker teams for building their programs to field full teams after a few years of not being able to. Our ladies really enjoyed playing with both teams as they both have a great bunch of ladies that my players really enjoyed playing with. After our match, all four teams got together to celebrate our two seniors, Victoria Hooker and Dara Huyhn. It is really awesome to get to see high school sports teams sit down to pizza and cake and enjoy each other's company. I big thank you to the coaches and players from Rolla, Dixon, and Crocker for making out senior night that much more special.

The Lady Tiger's have a busy schedule next week as they play at Lebanon, Tuesday; the MSU Relays, Thursday; and at Rolla, Friday.
