The Lopez golf team has wrapped up the regular season, the girls finishing third overall in the league and the boys sixth.

Several players qualified for post-season play. Four girls qualified for tri-districts at Battle Creek in Marysville: Ana-Sophia Rempel, Josie Luckhurst Slattery, Mira Velo and Kialeah Poole. Among the boys, Ulises Velazquez Cerda and Henry Robles also went to Marysville.

From there, the top eight boys and top 16 girls in the field go on to the state championship in Spokane at Meadowbrook, with Poole and Luckhurst Slattery making the cut!

First-year coach Ginger Plum is excited about her players’ prospects, their remarkable improvement through the year and the pleasure of coaching at Lopez.

“It’s gone really well and the kids have been great to coach,” she remarked.
