The Hancock County Lady Hornet Golf team, though young, has many talented and dedicated players this year. Coach Schneider, who is entering her 12th year as the girl’s golf coach, anticipates her top girls this year will be high schoolers Krystale Bradley, Megan Kurz, Lindsey Bloom, and seventh graders Lindsey Hagman, and Lexi Lamar.
The girls started practicing by participating in several Greater Owensboro T-time tournaments over the summer. Krystale Bradley, the girl’s team captain, prepared for her senior season by working one on one with Harold Hagman, playing golf with Brescia’s golf coach, and by practicing on her own. When asked why she works so hard at golf, Krystale said, “I’m dedicated because my Grandpa taught me how to play when I was little and I want to keep playing for him, as well as try to get a scholarship for my education.”
The ladies’ golf team has many goals that they’d like to accomplish this year as well. Coach Schneider stated, “One of our goals for this year is to lower our team score. This is important because we have such a young team, and if we can get all of the girls to get a low score then it will really help the team out.”Another main goal is to beat rivals Breckinridge County and Owensboro Catholic. These teams are major competition because they both have several seniors with a lot of golfing experience. The teams have been major rivals of the school for several years and it is a goal for all of our athletic programs to beat them.
