Shelbyville golfer qualifies for Lapel Regional

Regan Mathies’ first and only high school golf season has proven memorable.

The senior, who joined the Shelbyville golf program this season, shot 94 Monday in rainy conditions at the New Palestine Golf Sectional at Hawk’s Tail Golf Course to advance to the regional round of the IHSAA state tournament.

Mathies’ 21-over par score also helped Shelbyville to a fifth-place finish at 422, trailing Mt. Vernon (339), Greenfield-Central (384), New Palestine (387) and Greenwood (400).

Mt. Vernon, Greenfield-Central and New Palestine earned automatic berths into Saturday’s Lapel Regional. The top three individual sectional scores Monday not on an advancing team also make the trip to Lapel.

Greenwood’s Maura Guilfoy posted the third best score overall at 80 to secure a regional spot along with Mathies (photo, second from right) and Greenwood’s Emma Baker, who shot 95.

Mt. Vernon’s Alaina Nugent was the sectional champion with a two-over par round of 75. Her teammate, Meredith Johnson, was runner-up at 78.

Following Mathies on the Shelbyville scorecard were Kaylee Tackett (100), Lanie Stephens (112), Madison Monroe (116) and Kate Linville (120).

Southwestern finished seventh in the team standings with Eastern Hancock between the Spartans and Golden Bears.

Greenwood Christian placed eighth and Morristown was ninth.

 

 

Delaney Cornn led the Yellow Jackets at 112. Also competing Monday were Ashlee Ballinger (125), McKinley Kile (139) and Mollie Runnebohm (143).

The Yellow Jackets wore orange ribbons and bows in support for Morristown High School senior Quinton Batton, who was recently diagnosed with leukemia.

Triton Central did not have enough golfers to post a team score.

 

 

Emma Branham led the Tigers at 105. Kendra Erdmann was five shots back at 110. And Olivia Martin closed out the season at 129.
