2013 Green Valley Girls Golf Capsule

August 26, 2013 - 3:40 pm

GREEN VALLEY

Head coach: Greg Murphy, ninth season

Returning letter winners: Three

Top golfers: Mercedes Khumnark (Jr.), Haley Merrill (Jr.), Emma Reed (Jr.), Sara DeMarco (So.)

Outlook: Life without Alex Kaui begins for the Gators, who must make up for the loss of one of the best high school golfers in the state’s history. Kaui won three individual state crowns at Green Valley.

The good news for the Gators is they return Khumnark, who would have been the No. 1 golfer on just about any other team in the state last year.

Merrill and Reed were second-team All-Northeast League honorees last year, and could have strong seasons.

“We look to compete for a league championship,” Murphy said.
