PHS Girls Golf
Golf Competes at Boone Central
The girls golf team made their way to Boone Central for an 18-hole competition on Saturday, September 20. Rylee Altwine, Pierce’s senior golfer, fell just short of first place, shooting a 78 to claim the runner-up honors.
Also competing as a team at Boone Central were junior Addison Frye and sophomores Camassia White, Brooke Podany, and Alyvia Marks.
Frye made the top 20 by shooting a 102 and earning 19 place.
Falling just out of reach for the top 20, White scored a 104 finishing in 23rd place.
Podany, who finished with a 119, ended her day in 45th place.
Wrapping up the team scores, and earning 50th place shooting a 125 was Marks, who just won the team playoff hole to join the varsity team.
“Saturday was a great day to play golf; there was no wind, and it was the perfect temperature. I am very happy with the way I performed. Even though I lost by one stroke, I kept a smile on my face all day, not letting the bad shots put me down. I had my first-ever eagle, which was awesome. I’m really looking forward to Thursday and getting the chance to play Wayne one more time before districts. I hope to improve on the little things every day and continue to have lots of fun with my team during the remainder of the season,” Altwine explains.
