Atlanta Overflows with Festive Fun

Atlanta overflows with festive fun

Reporter photos Atlanta Clerk-Treasurer Robyn Cook previously told The Reporter, “Rain or shine, there will be crowds.” Apparently, even near-record high temperatures could not stop tens of thousands of people from flocking to Atlanta Saturday. If you have not stopped by yet, today is your last chance this year to be a part of the longest-running and largest festival in Hamilton County! The festival runs from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. today. See more photos on Pages 4 and 5 in today’s edition. Check out our Facebook page and ReadTheReporter.com for video of the Festival.

Tigers win first-ever title, three other schools advance to state By RICHIE HALL Reporter Sports Editor As much as the Fishers girls golf team has accomplished in a short period of time, there's always some more history to be made. The Tigers recorded another first Satur- day at Edgewood Country Club, winning the Lapel regional. It's the first time Fishers has won a girls golf regional, and it also will send the Tigers back to the state meet for the third time. Fishers carded a team score of 305, one stroke ahead of the other two state qualifiers. Hamilton Southeastern and Columbus North tied for second, both shooting 306s. "It's a fantastic feeling," said Tigers coach Danny Smith. "These girls, they've set goals, and one of the goals for this regional was to win. They accomplished that." The highlight of Fishers' victory was a sensational round by Morgan Lewis. The senior ran away with medalist honors by shooting a five-under par 66. Lewis made five birdies during her round, and capped it off with an eagle putt on the 18th hole to shoot her personal-best score. "I played really well," said Lewis, who had never broken the 70s before Saturday. Lewis admitted she wasn't confident going into the regional, but after a lesson with her coach, she said "everything just seemed to click." She also said this was the best putting day she's ever had. "I mean, everything was just going right," said Lewis. Fishers was helped as well by Kennedy Brooker, who tied for fourth place with a 74. Smith said one of the goals for the team was to have two or three players in the top 10. Reporter photo by Richie Hall The Tigers placed two in the top four. "I'm very proud of all of them," said The Fishers girls golf team won its first-ever regional championship Saturday at Edgewood Country Club.
