Girls Golf
Team wins MSC for first time in history Justice LaMaster Staff Writer
The girls golf team made history over the weekend of Sept. 14. They were the first golf team at Scottsburg High School to win at the Conference as a whole. Although members have won individual trophies before, the team has never done both at the same time. Avery Bottorff (12) won the individual trophy. Bottorff has been playing golf for eight years and was very ecstatic to have won the individual trophy at conference. She said that she would not change anything about how Conference went overall. She felt like her whole team played a wonderful round. However, she did not like two of the
holes she played. She said that she would change the par threes that she played because they were a bit rough. “My biggest challenges were [the par threes] and keeping a positive attitude through the rough holes,” Bottorff said. Coach Bob McGannon said, “[Winning conference] was awesome. To have the girls win the first Girls Golf MSC (Mid Southern Conference) for Scottsburg High School felt like a long time come due. These girls placed second last year in the MSC, and I knew this was going to be their year.” Conference was competitive. According to McGannon, Corydon was on their heels and almost beat Scottsburg. Bottorff managed to get ahead of Co-
rydon. As a result, the players came home from the match with a win. Some of that comeback can be credited to Bottorff’s competitiveness. “We ended up with a 413, which was a little over our average, but enough to win, ” McGannon said The girls played for six hours straight at Shadowood Golf Course in Seymour. Prior to conference, the girls golf team had a win streak of 19 and loss streak of 13. McGannon mentioned that the team is increasing its wins and improving on themselves as a whole while doing it. “Hopefully, it will get more girls out. They have been successful in the past and it is hard to win a team event like this one,” Athletic Director Jamie Lowry said.
