For the second year in a row, Pinckneyville junior Heather McDaniel finished in the top 10 of the IHSA Class A State Golf Finals.
After taking sixth at last year’s finals, McDaniel bettered her two-day 36-hole total from 2010 by 8 strokes, shooting 158 and finishing fifth overall. The finish turns out to be the best individual season by a Panther golfer in school history.
The IHSA Class A State Golf Finals were held at Red Tail Run Golf Club in Decatur this past weekend.
Sparta sophomore Kendra Kessler shot rounds of 85 and 95 for a total score of 180 which was good enough for a tie at 44th.
On the boys side, Marissa-Coulterville’s Tyler Jones shot rounds of 82 and 86 for a total of 168th and a tie for 40th.
