Redmond Girls' Golf Team Finishes Seventh at State
The Redmond High School girls' golf team did not end up with the state championship it hoped for, but finished a respectable seventh place.
The Redmond High School girls' golf team fell short of its goal of a state title but still finished a respectable seventh at the 4A girls' golf state championships in Spokane on Wednesday.
The Mustangs were hoping to win the state title for the first time since 2008 and looked primed to do so, but a tough first round left Redmond in a hole it could not climb out of.
Redmond had a surprising five golfers make the cut on the first day, but none entered the second day in the top 25, putting the Mustangs in the position of needing essentially career days from multiple golfers in order to pull back into the title race.
