THOUGHTS FROM COACH PARKER
"It was a great experience for the gals to travel to Dalton, GA to compete against some different schools and preview the golf course where the NAIA National Championship will be played in 2027 & 2028. They did not have a good week, far from playing their best, and finished 10th out of 15 teams. Nikki was the low scorer finishing 14th.."

NEXT UP
On November 3, the Firestorm will close out their fall schedule by hosting their own invitational at the Verrado Golf Club.

Roll Storm!
