The Massac County Lady Patriots’ balanced attack led to a fantastic girls golf season, and now several postseason honors. The Lady Patriots put five players on the Southern Illinois Coaches Association 1A Girls Golf All-South team: Lily Conkle, Elise Coakley, McKinnley Korte, Alexis Frazine, and Josie Walker.

A total of 28 golfers earned All-South honors covering boys and girls, both 1A and 2A. That list includes three seniors who made All-South all four years: Carmi-White County’s Ty Barbre, Chester’s Jarrett James, and Hamilton County’s Kylee Vaughan.
