Springs Valley Community High School

The Springs Valley girls' golf team traveled to Buffalo Trace Golf Course on Saturday to compete in the first Tony Blessinger Memorial Invitational. In an 11-team field loaded with larger schools like Bloomington South and host Jasper, the Blackhawks finished eighth, beating Tecumseh, North Harrison and Crawford County. It was a difficult day for the 'Hawks, as each member of the team battled through their own issues. Senior Macy Hall ended the day as Springs Valley's low scorer, finishing with a score of 104. Mia Cruz was next at 106, Dallas Hendrix shot a 111 and Logan Watts' score was 141. Karmen Hall was unable to make it through the 18-hole event, having to withdraw. Despite their scores being higher than their averages, the Blackhawks enter a new week determined to continue their improvement. "I'm not going to let Saturday's score derail me," Cruz said. "Monday is the start of a new week of opportunities." The Blackhawks will get their next opportunity on Tuesday, hosting North Harrison, Eastern Greene and Mitchell at the Valley Links.
