May. Junior Johanna Stinson returned as the only letterman to lead the team. After a slow start the girls captured four regular season meet victories and qualified a full team of four players for the state competition in Shelby. On a couple cool days in mid-May, Stinson the younger, senior Dakota Romero, sophomore Adrianna Irvine, and freshman Hannah Schweitzer took on the Marias Valley Course in Shelby in hopes of bringing home state iron for the fourth straight year. The girls finished in third position, led by Stinson’s second place finish. On day two, she fired a school record tying 85. Fourteen ladies competed in eight regular season tournaments in 2016, capturing first place honors in five of those events. Lone senior Johanna Stinson led the way, earning the individual medal in five meets. Juniors Kara Neal and Adrianna Irvine also qualified for the state meet, as did sophomore Hannah Schweitzer. At state in Hamilton, the girls had a rough day one but came back strong in their second round to post 654, good for a fourth place. Stinson capped her brilliant high school career with her third state medal…a third place finish to go with the 4th and 2nd she earned as a sophomore and junior. Head coach Stinson and coach Koontz were pleased with the progress of the underclassmen, and with just one graduating player, 2017 promised to be another banner year for Lady Husky golf. 2017 marked the tenth season of Lady Husky Golf, and record numbers of participants turned out to try their hand at the ancient game. Coach Stinson continued her tenure with assistance from coach Koontz as sixteen participants battled their way through nine meets with four upperclassmen qualifying for the state competition in May. Nearly half of the team was rookies, so it was quite a learning experience. The state meet returned to the Double Arrow Golf Course in Seeley Lake, site of the Lady Huskies state title in 2014. Seniors Kara Neal, Adrianna Irvine, and Mo Wall joined junior Hannah Schweitzer to represent Old Belt High. The girls had a great run at Seeley, with Schweitzer capturing 4th place individually and Neal medaling in 12th position. The Lady Huskies finished in 2nd place, bringing home a state trophy for the 4th time in team history.
