2016 Palo Verde Girls Golf Capsule

League: Class 4A Northwest League

Head coach: Todd Steffenhagen, sixth season

Returning letter winners: Six

Top athletes: Annick Haczkiewicz (Jr.), Rebecca Oertel (Jr.)

Outlook: Haczkiewicz won last year’s Division I state championship, and Oertel finished 12th while playing at Bonanza. Her transfer to Palo Verde makes the Panthers stronger.

“We should be in contention for a region championship,” Steffenhagen said. “It’s an experienced team that returns six letter winners.”
