Season Recap: MS Golf

New year, same results for the Lady Indians MS golfers. A year ago, the girls were without a loss in matches played, and won the Tri-State Championship. Top golfer Bella Hulsey returned in 2023 for another round.

TFS brought in new head coach Jadie Hatcher, and he guided the boys and girls to a lot of success in his first season. The girls once again went without a loss, and Hulsey ended the season at the Area Championship with a low medalist finish alongside teammate Maeve Hatcher. Hulsey won a one-hole playoff to secure the individual title, and the Lady Indians won by 12 strokes at Apple Mountain.

In total, the girls and boys combined for six low medalist finishes and every golfer producing new personal-bests. For the girls, Hulsey and Hatcher were typically at the top of the pack, and Emma Whisnant, Sadie Henslee, Handley James, and Catherine Harris all had solid seasons as well.

The boys came in fourth at the Area Championship, and Owen Earp consistently was the top scorer for the Indians. He shot a 48 to lead the team at the final match. Josh Newell saved his best for last at Apple Mountain, and Maddox English, Micah Smith, Keller VanOrman, and Tate Colston were all contributors to the team success.

"I can't say enough great things about all of these kids and the effort and willingness to learn this very difficult sport," adds coach Jadie Hatcher following the final match. "The TFS golf program has an extremely bright future and I'm proud to have a part in it."

Every roster player is either a sixth- or seventh-grader, meaning next season could be even more successful as each golfer takes a natural step of progression in their game.
