Girls golf regionals Westfield and Noblesville take titles, Carmel and HSE to join them at state By RICHIE HALL A familiar set of Hamilton County golf teams will be returning to the state finals. The four well-established programs all earned another trip to the big meet af- ter their performances during Saturday’s regionals. Westfield and Carmel finished first and second respectively at the Ron- calli regional, which took place at Smock Golf Course in Indianapolis. Up at Edgewood Golf Club in Ander- son, Noblesville claimed its first regional in over a decade by winning the Lapel re- gional, with Hamilton Southeastern plac- ing second. All four teams will head to Prairie View Golf Club next weekend to compete at state. CONSISTENT ROUNDS Westfield’s ascendancy to the elite level has been fairly recent compared to the other schools. But the Shamrocks are firmly in that group, and proved it again with their regional victory, carding a 305. It’s the third regional championship for the ‘Rocks, after they won back-to-back titles in 2015-16, and qualified them for state for the sixth time in school history, all since 2014.

The Class 2A No. 6 Huskies and 1A No. 2 Knights met earlier in the season at the Lebanon Invitational in a game that went to penalty kicks. The first half of Saturday’s game was just as close: Both teams played physical as they finished the half in a 0-0 tie. Heights broke through in the second half. Emma Hall took a corner kick, and Jayla Logan found the ball on the back side of the goal. Logan fought through defenders and was able to tap the ball into the net. The Huskies’ defense took over after that, with Logan, Riley Landis, Samera Henson, Katie Smith, Ava Bryant, and Keri Towsend holding LCC’s high-scor- ing offense without a goal. Heights next plays Monday at Oak Hill, then finishes the regular season Wednesday at Pendleton Heights.
