Vallivue Golf Starts Strong

After last year’s success on the course, both boys and girls golf hope to return to the state tournament this year under the 5A classification.

After a successful season in 2023, the Vallivue Golf program hopes to continue that success this season with a lot of talent at the tee. The boys golf program qualified for state last year and graduate Jaxon Wright finished first individually. Current senior Claire Hall, a three-time qualifier at the state tournament, is expected to have a great season.

Vallivue Golf has kicked off this year with two tournaments. One took place on August 15. It was a tough course, and both JV and Varsity had to play 18 holes. The most recent tournament was held by Vallivue at Timberstone, and Hall placed third with a score of 83. She hopes to end this season at state again, but this time she’d like to place in the top five.

Tori Barrus, the girls golf coach, is very proud of how the team has done so far: “You can tell these girls worked hard over the summer, and I expect them all to bring their skills to the team.” The boys team has a lot of new golfers this year, and the coaches expect them to do well this season.

About the Contributors

Reagan Jackson, Staff Writer

I’m Reagan Jackson a sophomore at Vallivue High. I joined Journalism to expand my writing knowledge and skills. My favorite stories to write are about pop culture or stories that feature people. This year I plan to learn new ways of writing and expand my vocabulary for my writing.

Astrid Brandt, Staff Writer

My name is Astrid Brandt. I am a junior and exchange student from Sweden here at Vallivue High School. I was very excited to join the journalism class because I love to write, talk with people and create stories from the information I get. I enjoy all different types of stories but I especially like to write about and interview people that are passionate about their thing. Things that are not interesting to me at the beginning become important and very fun to write about when I know someone else cares about it. I hope that my stories can teach people new things and maybe make them interested in a new topic. My other goals this year are to get to know new people and their stories and learn how to write better and more interesting stories.
