Congratulations Lady HighlandersThe Highlander Girls Golf Team placed 3rd in the 2023 6A State Championship. 12 really good teams battled each other and Legacy Hills GC in Georgetown TX for 2 rounds. The Highlanders were in the hunt the entire way. Their team score of 589 would have been low enough to win state in many of the past state championships, but not this one. The state has any one of 6 talented schools that could have claimed the victory.The Girls were led by sophomore Charlotte Stick (75-70-145) and junior Veronika Exposito (73-72-145). Their 145 1 over par total was tied for 9th place individually. Sophomore Tate Hutcheson tied for 17th with a strong (72-76-148). These 3 girls will be back leading the Highlanders run at state next year!Seniors Leena Stephens (79-75-154) and Sofia Bastidas (76-77-153) ended fantastic careers for the Highlanders with their 3rd state appearance in a row with solid efforts. Their efforts in the classroom and on the golf course will be missed as Sofia will move on to play golf at Arkansas State and Leena will play at North Carolina State. Both universities will add a good player, great student, and awesome person to their respective teams.
