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.

Bethany Glassford and Amanda Keith shot 39s, Katie Ahn had a 47

and Michelle Chon and Jenna Todd had 50s for Burbank.

For Burroughs, Danie Caffey shot a 42, Sydney Dunivant had a 44,

Destanie Michaels had a 49, Jenn Jennings and Ally Petroski had 52s

and Heather Isaacs had a 59.
