The girls’ golf team clinched its another district championship on Monday in the 9-5A district tournament.

“Winning our third district title was exciting and we all played really well,” senior Makenna Davidson said. “We all played really well, and I can’t wait to see what’s to come at regionals.”

The win was a complete team effort as they won by more than 80 strokes.

“It was awesome to win districts again this year,” junior Loren Matrone said. “It sets us up for a great run at a state title. The girls and I are so pumped to show Region 2 what we’ve got.”

Junior Darby Deans led the way for the team, winning the individual title.

“I’m so proud to represent Liberty by winning first in district and being three time district champions,” Deans said. “I can’t wait to see what this team will do for the rest of the season.”

Head coach Shannon Gildwell says the team is shifting focus, and are now looking towards the regional tournament.

“Obviously we are thrilled to three-peat as district champions,” Gildwell said. “The girls have been working extremely hard and we are looking forward to another long post-season with another berth at the state championship. Our next focus point is to work to win the Region II title next week at Rockwall.”
