Coach Doane provides information on girls golf:
The last 18 hole tournament of the regular season was today at the California Invitational ⛳️ and each one of our girls improved on their 18 hole season best. Ava finished with another Top 20 and Ashlee keeps setting her personal best on 18 hole matches. It’s always good to continue to improve your score throughout the year. We have a few more weeks left and a few more 9 hole matches to keep improving and reach some of our goals for this season. We look forward to continuing our prep for Districts and our next match is next Wednesday at Cole Camp.
GR8 job, TIGERS!

But their scrappy grit kept the Tigers in the 3-set loss 19-25, 4-25, 20-25. Bouncing back from the 2nd set, our girls stayed in the fight. Nevaeh Washington served 5 aces and had 1 kill.

Today was a successful day on the golf course for our Lady Tigers. Ava Needy and Ashlee Martin both shot their personal best at the Marshall Invitation Golf Tournament. “Playing tougher competition early in the season is only going to help our team be better in the long run and during the post season push. I was proud of the maturity they showed on the course and battled through adversity through the round.,” said Coach Doane. Our next girls golf match is Thursday at the Sedalia Country Club, followed by Senior Night at the volleyball game.

The GR8 Tiger Band did a fantastic job at the Cole Camp Fair last night. Band Director, Ashley Bates, stated, "We received so many compliments on our uniforms and playing from Green Ridge community members last night as well as Cole Camp community members and those in attendance from surrounding communities. The crowd was blown away by the band’s performance. I was little emotional when we marched up to that grandstand and the kids turned to play. I am beyond proud of them and to be a part of the GR8 team." Congratulations to all!
