Warsaw – Five golfers are making school history this year at River View High School. Girls have played golf at River View in the past on the boys’ team, but for the first time ever the school has enough girls to field a golf team just for them. “It’s kind of surreal,” said Head Coach Bill Stufflebean. “They are all really excited about it.” The team consists of sophomores Shelby Byland, Peyton Werntz and ninth graders Emma Anderson, Kailyn Shalosky and Marie Stufflebean. Bill and Chuck Rinkes coached Shalosky and Stufflebean last year in eighth grade and the girls worked to get others interested so they could have a high school team. “One of the girls, Marie is my daughter,” Bill said. “I got her a club when she was 8-years-old and she hit the ball really well so I got her into golf. I wanted her to have the opportunity to have a girl’s team because otherwise they would have to play on the boys’ team at that level. When they do that SEE GOLF ON PAGE 13
