Collins CC 13U Champions
Meadow Hills CC 17U Champions
The PGA Jr. League Region 10 Championship took place in September and Colorado was well represented with 4 teams competing (two 13u Teams and two 17u teams). They qualified through our Section Championships and Play Days. The atmosphere was on fire, figuratively and literally as the temperature reached 107 degrees. That didn’t stop Aurora's Meadow Hills 17u team from moving on to the Semifinal Match, which led to a scorecard playoff and eventual loss We want to give a big shout-out to the teams that competed in Texas: Aurora Meadow Hills 17u, KMG18 Elite Gold 17u, Ft Collins Death Stars 13u & EJGA 13U Bombs
