Lady Riders Beat Bulldogs to End Golf Season
The Lady Riders Golf Team wrapped up their most successful year ever by beating the Lady Bulldogs this past Monday, October 19th at Monterey Park and ended the season with a 9-3 record. The Lady Riders were once again led by Senior Crystal Castillo and Sophomore Evelyn Garcia. Both Crystal and Evelyn played a city finals qualifying round this past Thursday at Alhambra Golf Course but fell just short of making it to the city finals, which takes the top 40 girls in the city. We are confident that Evelyn will be amongst that elite group next year if she continues to work hard. Thank for you for a great season Lady Riders, but most importantly for being such a close-knit team!
