Even after putting together its best
scores of the season at the Class 4A Re-
gion II tournament, the Argyle girls golf
team nearly had to go to a two-team
playoff Thursday to determine who
would move on to state.
The Lady Eagles shot a two-day
score of 789 to finish third overall, out-
lasting Carrollton Ranchview by one
stroke to advance to their first state

heading into the second round.
“We were thinking it was going to be
a playoff, and we were preparing for it,”
said Argyle coach Sammye Townsend,
whose team shot a 393 on Day 1 and
396 Thursday. “It was a huge relief. Not
only did these girls make state, but it
was the first time they shot under 400.
And we did it two days in a row. I’m
proud of them.”
The Class 4A state tournament is
scheduled for April 27 and 28 at Onion
Creek Golf Club in Austin.
Argyle’s boys team qualified for the
state tournament on Tuesday. It’s the
Eagles’ fourth consecutive trip to state.
Argyle’s Marisa Roden shot a 181 for
the tournament and finished seventh
individually. Leyton King was close be-
hind at 184 while Mackenzie Miles fin-
ished at 213. Molly Sheridan finished at
214. Another difference maker was
freshman Hannah Adkins, whose sec-
ond-round 111 made all the difference in
the world, Townsend said.

Rolling Hills Country Club.

On Thursday afternoon, the Lady

mance after making up two spots in the
standings and finishing the tourna-
ment with a ninth-place showing after
shooting a score 21 strokes better than
Wednesday’s.
Guyer’s second-day total of330 gave
it a two-day score of 651, helping the La-
