“It was such a fun day,” Owensboro Catholic Head Coach Bretnea Harvey said. “So many teams were fluctuating in the top five spots until about five holes remaining. My team collected a few pars and leveled out toward the end, and I really feel like our strong finish made all the difference. We really focused on taking each shot one by one all day and not mounting pressure. I’m really proud of them.”
