McClatchy Women’s Golf Takes First at Sectionals

Lady Lions Golf Team

Monday, October 23rd, the Lady Lions golf team took home the gold at WildHorse golf course for the 6th time in McClatchy women’s golf history. It was an outstanding win; the other competitors were beaten by 36 strokes.

The girls stood by the putting green, chattering about how much they wanted to win this event. They huddled in a circle wishing each other luck then ended with their cheer, “Lions on Me, Lions on three, 1, 2, 3, LIONS!”

During the match the girls fought their hardest. They went up against our rival Kennedy in addition to Roseville and Whitney High School.

At the end of the match the girls huddled together and watched the score board. It was nerve racking, but also very exciting. Finally, Coach Dan Ng ran up to the team with a big smile on his face. The head directors wrote “McClatchy (Score 451) 1st.” The girls started crying out of excitement. “We did it!” Sophomore Kayla Diaz said. They hugged and cheered with big smiles on their faces.

This was a dream come true for the Lady Lions golf team. A new first place banner will soon hang up on  the gym wall.
