Burbank shoots way to top
GIRLS’ GOLF
Foothill League Match No. 2: It got a little crowded at the top of
the Foothill League standings after Tuesday’s contest at Vista
Valencia Golf Course.
With a second-place effort in the event, Burbank is tied with
three other teams -- Hart, Saugus and Valencia -- for first place in
league. All the teams have nine points.
The Bulldogs will have a chance to take sole possession of first
place Tuesday at the third league match at El Cariso Golf Course in
Sylmar.
“We are just going to have to shoot our hearts out when we play on
Tuesday,” Burbank Coach Jackie Friedman said. “We want to get that
first-place spot in league.”
Saugus -- which finished fourth in the first league contest last
week -- won the second installment with a team total of 198. It was
followed by the Bulldogs (207), Hart (211), Valencia (212), Canyon
(224) and Burroughs (239).
“I told my players that even though they were fourth last week,
Saugus would probably win [Tuesday’s] match,” Friedman said. “We have
to beat Saugus.”
The Bulldogs’ were led by senior Grace Woo, who tied Saugus’
Melanie DeLeon for low-medalist honors, as they both shot
two-under-par 33s.
