2017 Virgin Valley Girls Golf Capsule

VIRGIN VALLEY

League: Class 3A Sunrise

Head coach: Chimane Creer, fourth season

Returning letter winners: One

Top golfers: Kitana Lopez (Sr.), Trishelle Vasquez (Fr.)

Outlook: Lopez qualified for the Class 3A state tournament last year and is the lone returning letter winner for the Bulldogs.

Creer hopes Vasquez can contend for a top 10 spot in the Sunrise League.

“This could be the year where we can field a full team,” Creer said. “In the past, our players have had to compete as individuals, but this year we have six players that could help us as a team.”
