Last weekend, both Coppell High School boys varsity golf teams played in tournaments both in Lubbock and Ft. Worth.
The weekend in Lubbock was a good one for the CHS girls team. With no seniors, it was up to the younger group of varsity players to bring home a title. Sophomores Chaithra Katemneni (76-71) and Sol Lee (74-70) and juniors Taylor Icenberger (76-76) and Hannah Jaio (79-78) had a great weekend and were able to bring the Coppell Cowgirls to success. With Lee placing second, Katemneni placing fifth, and Icenberger and Jaio both placing in top 20.
The Cowgirls shot a 305 and 295 over the first two rounds to finish first overall at 600, placing them ahead of area rivals Southlake Carroll, Hebron and Colleyville Heritage.
The boys team also had a good round this weekend. Even though not placing first, the team still managed to place sixth overall out of twenty teams. Alex Garcia placed seventh and Eric VerDuin placed in the top 15. The boys pulled and total score of 302-317 = 619.
