The CRHS Golf Banquet was a big success on May 20th at The Golf Club at Cinco Ranch.  An Italian buffet was served and no one left hungry.  The coaches were pretty much able to hold back the tears and were very appreciative of the kind sincere words of the senior Captains Kyle Westmoreland, Micah Hill, Caroline Wood and Alyssa Pantle.  They were especially touched by their motivational words to the underclassmen to carry on our rich tradition and make it to the state tournament next year.  Their overwhelming theme was: "We are a true TEAM in an individual sport that separates us from most of the other golf programs.  We take care of one another and will always be there to pick each other up."  The greatest joy of a coach is to see our past freshmen all grown up and mature as young adult seniors.  The boys celebrated their 5 tournament victories and their 2 runner-ups.  We believe that this is a school record for championships in a year.  The girls also had a great year with with 7 trophies won with a group that has 5 returning players for next year.  Thank you so much for the seniors who have been such great role models throughout the year.  Your impact and legacy will last on our program for years to come.  Your leadership was the key to our success this season.  THE AWARD WINNERS WERE:  Boys MVP's Seniors Kyle Westmoreland & Micah Hill;  Girls MVP Sophomore Abby Newton; Boys Fighting Heart Junior Scott Newell; Girls Fighting Heart Senior Caroline Wood; Boys Sportsmanship Craig Johnson;  Girls Sportsmanship Senior Melissa Berger & Sophomore Megan Webster;  Boys Most Improved Junior Jake Leatherwood; Girls Most Improved Sophomore Kirsten Hensley & Senior Sarah Herbert; Boys Academic Senior Eric Rosenfeld; Girls Academic Melissa Berger.  A special thank you goes out to the many parents who made our banquet such a success.  Thank you Sue Berger, Anne Wood, Donna Newell and Dave Reynolds for all of your hard work as you always make our golf kids feel special.  Pictures will be coming soon to this website.

Our Cougar Varsity Boys had a tough time at Concan CC on the Frio River by not shooting our regular scores and coming in 5th place.  We had a great time and really bonded as a team which will pay off in the long run.   The top seven boys made the trip and got a chance to stay in cabins on the river and play a terrific golf course.  The course and the wind were both very tough on the field which included teams from all over Texas.  The Cougars' top player Kyle Westmoreland had to withdraw with an injury, so the Cougars played one man short of the competition.  Senior Micah Hill led the Cougars with a 83-77 to place in the top ten.  Medalist Junior Jake Leatherwood had a terrific tournament with an 80-84.   Junior Scott Newell also shot 82-82.  Sophomore Dylan Reynolds also recorded an 82.  Junior Zack Kim and Senior Craig Johnson both carded an 83.   THANK YOU SO MUCH to our CRHS All Sports Booster Club for their financial support of our trip!

The girls got to stay in cabins right on the Frio River Thursday and Friday night.  It was a great team bonding experience.  They even worked as a team as they washed the dishes after the two meals that Coach Nordstrom and Coach Stone cooked for them.  They even said that their coaches’ cooking was good!  The coaches’ cooking could not compare though to the great chicken-fried steaks for dinner and the country breakfast buffet that was served by the host resort.
