Sara Scarlett's 78 on a par-72 course was enough to earn theTexas-commit a spot in the individual side of the Masters, which will be played at The Reserve at Spanos Park in Stockton.
Meanwhile, coach Mark Jones is retiring as the Wolves coach after seven years at the helm. For the past 10 years, Jones also headed the boys team, which is still searching for a coach, and has coached JV basketball at Woodland and track and cross country at Douglass Middle School.
Following four straight Tri-County Conference titles by this girls golf team, Jones could think of no better time to leave.
"It's really been a great year ... for me to go out on," he said. "(But) right now I think I'm pretty much done with golf."
Also done with high school golf are seniors Sydney Santana (103 on Monday), Melissa Mahoney (110) and Selina Munos (131). The fifth Wolves player in the tournament on Monday was sophomore Yeevena Coronado (135).
"We didn't have a good day," Jones said of Monday's performance. "We've had our share of great days this year. It's just today wasn't one of them, unfortunately."
The Wolves finished with a score of 557, 73 strokes behind tournament winner Whitney (484). The Wildcats and Placer (512) advance to the Masters.
Scarlett will also be at that tournament, as
she was a year ago. Jones said Scarlett qualifying last season was "kind of like the start of something big." She wound up going into the last hole in fourth place but double bogeyed to finish 20th."She's had a wonderful career, hopefully she'll get on as well as last year," Jones said.
As for the coach, retirement means more traveling.
"We have a vacation home (in Truckee) that I don't get a chance to spend too much time in," he said. Now he should be able to do so more often, though he left his conversation with the Democrat by saying "coaching (has been) fun."
Girls tennis
The Patriots girls tennis team did what it needed to Thursday, beating Woodland to finish 5-5 in Tri-County Conference play, for a chance at the playoffs. But a Natomas victory over Inderkum on Thursday pushed Pioneer to fourth place, one spot out of the postseason.
Inderkum finishes in third and Natomas places second while Yuba City topped the TCC.
The locals will compete in individual playoffs this week, starting with singles competition today before doubles play on Thursday. Any singles players who do not advance today can participate in power doubles on Thursday.
Boys soccer
The Wolves andPatriots boys soccer teams were set to play each team's regular season finale on Monday, but field conditions at Woodland delayed the contest. Pioneer coach Anibal Morales said the game is now scheduled for Wednesday at 3:30 p.m.
