The Bison golf teams show off their hardware after their second tournament of the year.

The Lady Bison golf teams have placed in top spots in their last two tournaments while the boys team improved by two places last week and took third place with a score of 66. 

Coach Judith Harris leads the team, which has several new players this year.

“I never thought that I would be playing golf,” freshman Lorenzo Espino said, “yet here I am and I’m really glad that our group has improved by two places in the last week”

The girls have enough players for two teams and one of them has taken first in both of their tournaments this season. 

“It’s so exciting that our team has won first place in the last two tournaments,” senior Emily Rodriguez said. “I can’t wait to attend our next tournament and see how our season goes.”

About the Contributor

Gustavo Zapata, Reporter
My name is Gustavo Zapata and I am a very relaxed and calm person most of the time. Writing is one of my many weaknesses, as well as math. I believe that I have more strengths than I do weaknesses. Some of the strengths I have are drawing, I have really good hand-eye coordination depending on what I’m doing, and most of the time I am a very quick learner. My free time hobbies include listening to music, playing games, talking with my friends, and drawing. Some of my favorite foods are Shrimp fried rice, and noodles or fish, basically mostly seafood. I’m in one school organization at the moment which is our school marching band, but I may join FFA if I change my mind on joining. I'm really glad that my friend Garrett convinced me to join the band because I never realized how fun it really is until now. That is all I have to say, thank you for letting me tell you some things about myself.
