2017 Centennial Girls Golf Capsule

CENTENNIAL

League: Class 4A Northwest

Head coach: Charles Cerrone, 13th season

Returning letter winners: Four

Top golfers: Hailey Stevenson (So.), Jade Magana (Jr.), Taylor Scrutchens (Sr.), Anna Fudenberg (So.), McKenzi Hall (Fr.)

Outlook: Stevenson finished 11th in last year’s Class 4A state tournament and heads a group of four returning letter winners for the Bulldogs.

“The team is young,” Cerrone said. “We graduated four seniors, but our young team has some quality experience. We hope to continue to build on last year’s solid season and keep our streak of qualifying for the regionals intact.

“There are some tough golf programs in our region, and we hope to improve as the season goes along and hopefully play our best golf at the end.”
