WBHS girls finish fifth in area tournament
Lady Bulldoggs have outside shot of being invited to state tournament
By Scott Thompson
Sports Editor
The Winder-Barrow
High School girls golf
team had hoped to make
a return trip to the state
tournament this year, but
that could be in some
jeopardy.
The Lady Bulldoggs
finished fifth Mon
day in the GHSA Area
2-AAAAAA tourna
ment at Bartram Trail
Golf Club in Evans, fir
ing a 325. They needed
to shoot 315 and finish
in the top four to auto
matically qualify for
the state tournament on
Jekyll Island May 21-22.
But once all the areas
have reported their
scores to the GHSA over
the next week, there is a
chance their area score
could be good enough
to earn an invite to state,
Winder-Barrow coach
Ryan Smith said.
“They try to fit 20
teams into the state
tournament so we do
have a chance,” Smith
said. “The girls had that
goal to try to make it to
Jekyll. We didn’t have
our best day (Monday),
but I think we’ve con
tinued to get better all
year and I’m proud of
the commitment and
dedication the girls have
shown.”
Emilie Elrod led the
Lady Bulldoggs, shoot
ing a 107. Chloe Patchin
shot a 108 and Katie
Alewin fired an 18-hole
career-best 110 to give
Winder-Barrow its
three qualifying scores.
Brooke Beasley shot a
128.
On the boys side,
the Bulldoggs failed to
qualify for state, shoot
ing a 400. But that per
formance was much
improved over the 449
they shot last month in
the Region 8-AAAAAA
tournament.
Devin Martin led
Winder-Barrow with a
93, while Rhode West
fired a 97 and scored her
first career hole-in-one
with an ace on the 12th
hole. Jesse Willingham
shot a 99, and Wolfgang
Wild shot 111. Harlin
Brown (118) and Tristan
Branson (134) also com
peted for the Bulldoggs.
“Like I said at the
region tournament,
we’ve got to play these
better, more experi
enced teams in order to
improve and that’s what
we’ve done all season
long,” Smith said. “You
want to go up against
that tougher competition
TOP FINISHER
Devin Martin was the top scorer for the Winder-
Barrow boys in the area tournament, firing a 93.
Winder-Barrow shot a 400 and missed qualifying
for state. Martin is one of several players slated to
return next season for the Bulldoggs.

SEASON-BEST
Winder-Barrow’s Katie Alewine, seen here putting in a match against Apalachee last month, shot an
18-hole career-best 110 Monday as the Lady Bulldoggs finished fifth in the GHSA Area 2-AAAAAA tour
nament at Bartram Trail Golf Club in Evans. Winder-Barrow shot a 325, 10 spots off qualifying for the
state tournament. However, Winder-Barrow coach Ryan Smith said the Lady Bulldoggs have an outside
shot of geting invited to the state tournament May 21-22 on Jekyll Island, depending on how the scores
from the other area tournaments shake out. All area tournaments will be played over the next week.
Alewine is one of two seniors the Lady Bulldoggs are losing, along with Emilie Elrod.

when you’re trying to
build a successful pro
gram.”
The Lady Bulldoggs
will lose Elrod and
Alewine out of their
starting lineup while
the Winder-Barrow boys
will only lose a pair of
seniors who started one
varsity match apiece.
Smith said there are
some players coming up
from eighth grade who
will challenge his cur
rent starters.
“My motto is always
‘competition brings
excellence,”’ Smith said.
“The new guys coming
in are going to put some
pressure on the ones we
have now and that’s a
good thing.”
