FOLLOWING THROUGH: LSA Girls Golf claims TAPPS 5A Title
Following a tremendous season, in which they progressed up the ranks against some stellar competition, Lutheran South Girls Golf had finally reached the State Final.
Coach Geoff Stresman and his group of methodical competitors traveled to Glen Rose, TX on Monday, to take part in the TAPPS 5A Championship which took place at Squaw Valley Golf Course.

Being one of three teams to advance to State, it goes without saying that LSA has displayed next-level efficiency between the links throughout the Spring, which was further evidenced by how the girls performed in the final tournament.
Once the tournament had concluded on Tuesday, the Lady Pioneers had become TAPPS 5A State Champions with a final composite score of 689, which was five strokes below the second-place finisher.

This was no simple feat to accomplish, as it marks only the second time in school history that a golf team has won it all.
What’s even more impressive is the remarkable talent these girls possess, in spite of their considerable youth.
Given that fact, who’s to say they won’t run it back a year from now?
The 411: Klein Golf's Edi Webster
KLEIN’S EDI WEBSTER TAKES TO THE LINKS THIS SPRING WITH HOPES OF WRAPPING UP HER HIGH SCHOOL GOLF CAREER WITH LOW SCORES AND FOND MEMORIES.
The Bearkat is headed to Ole Miss next fall hoping that she has left a legacy for her teammates over the years. VYPE caught up with Webster for our fan-favorite 411 Feature.
VYPE: So, why golf?
WEBSTER: My twin brother and I have played our entire lives. I just hopped along, and we’ve played together for years. I got more serious about it in the eighth grade. At some point, I just fell in love with the sport.
VYPE: What do you love about the sport?
WEBSTER: I like the challenge. Golf teaches you life lessons like patience and the ability to keep calm when you are faced with pressure. You have to keep your emotions in check when it matters the most.
VYPE: You are talented in the classroom as well. How does that help your golf game?
WEBSTER: It helps me strategize. I think it’s more like putting in the hard work. I have Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), so I’ve had to put in a lot of work to get to where I am now. It helps with dedication.
VYPE: You don’t plan on playing college golf, so what do you see yourself doing in 5 or 10 years.
WEBSTER: I’m going to major in Business. My Dad owns a company, so I’ll do something like that. I want to do project management at some point. Having played golf will also help me in the business world.
VYPE: What’s it like being a twin?
WEBSTER: When we were young, we didn’t get along. We are really close now. We have the same friend group and we definitely count on each other.
VYPE: Outside of golf, what do you like to do?
WEBSTER: I really love doing people’s makeup. I also like to run. Other than that, I don’t have too much free time.
VYPE: What’s your binge show?
WEBSTER: I love The Office and Friends.
VYPE: With ADD, how do you stay focused in a game like golf?
WEBSTER: It takes some work. I read this book about staying in your ‘playbox’ and being in this ‘mental state’ of trusting your swing and staying focused while remaining relaxed. Because of my ADD I love to play golf, but I can’t watch it.
