ZACHARY — St. Thomas More didn’t equal or better its first-round score. That didn’t keep the Lafayette school from claiming its first state title in girls golf.
The Cougars, in just their second season competing as a team, shot a 162 on Tuesday at Copper Mill Golf Club.
It was good enough to wrap up the Louisiana High School Athletic Association’s Division I state title. Defending champion St. Joseph’s Academy placed second.
“We did a good job overcoming some adversity and course conditions that were really tough,” St. Thomas More coach Steve Schorr said. “With no experience playing from out in front, we handled it well. I’m proud of them.”
