The Hewitt-Trussville High School girls golf team won the Class 7A North Sub-State and finished tied for third at the state tournament.
The Hewitt-Trussville High School girls golf team delivered two steady rounds to tie for third place at the Class 7A state golf tournament, finishing with a two-day total of 466 at RTJ Oxmoor Valley’s Valley Course on May 12–13.
The Huskies were consistent from start to finish, posting identical team rounds of 233 on both Monday and Tuesday. Merritt Daniel led the team each day with consistent rounds of 75. Her consistent play across both nines helped anchor the team’s scoring.
In the opening round, Emma Bark posted a 76, followed by Kiersten Riggins with an 82. On Tuesday, Riggins bounced back with a 78, while Bark added an 80 to complete the team total. Morgan Hopper shot 87 and 83, but her scores did not factor into the team total.
Daniel’s 150 paced the Huskies, while Bark finished with a 156 and Riggins posted a 160. Hewitt-Trussville matched UMS-Wright for third place, finishing 10 strokes behind runner-up Grissom and 29 behind champion Auburn, which ran away with the title with a two-day score of 437.
Hewitt-Trussville qualified for state by winning the North Sub-State tournament a week earlier. The Huskies finished 9-over par as a team and beat Grissom by one shot. Riggins led the way with a 73, followed by Daniel with a 74. Hopper added a 78, while Bark shot an 82.
