“Valerie and Lilly have been great leaders so far this year, with their scores as well as helping with the new golfers to the team,” said Hilmar coach Ty Pettigrew. “They are currently 1-2, respectively, in overall league average and continue to play well each match.

“Malia has been consistent with her scores, giving us a solid top-three golfers.”

Ripon Christian (431) took third, followed by Ripon (437), Hughson (478), Sonora (523) and Orestimba (590).

Ripon’s Cameron Seefeldt (91) was four strokes off Quaid’s pace. She was followed by Garza and Escalon’s Rose Percey, who tied for third.

“We’re looking forward to the second half of league play,” said Pettigrew, whose team is off to a 5-1 start. “We start that with a match against Ripon Christian at Jack Tone Golf Course on Thursday.”
