CLAYTON -- The North Putnam Cougars and the South Putnam Eagles girls' golf squads traveled to Deer Creek Golf Course to take on the hosts, the Cascade Cadets, on Wednesday.

The home team came out victorious carding a 211. South Putnam had a 227, and North Putnam only had two scores.

The weather was perfect for a golf meet and the girls were ready to play.

Some of the players struggled with their short game while some struggled off the tee. Others hit a few bad shots and got frustrated. With the perfect weather there should have been some scores in the low 40s.

South Putnam's Kendra Boyce was medalist for the meet, shooting a 48. Close behind was North Putnam's Olivia Zarate with a 49. Cascade did not have any scores in the 40s but they managed to be the most consistent and have all their scorers play in the low 50s to win the event.

North Putnam would have had a shot to win if they would have had a complete team, as would South Putnam had it lowered its number of penalty strokes.

Both Putnam County schools had a good night, though, in the light that Deer Creek is the conference course and the conference duel is next weekend.

The teams look to improve their depth for next week's West Central Conference match as both had scores that would have netted them an individual spot in conference.

It was the second of back-to-back matches for the Eagles. On Tuesday South Putnam hosted Edgewood and Indian Creek. Boyce was again the medalist that day, finishing at 46, but SPHS finished at 223 to finish third.

Indian Creek won with a 195 and Edgewood finished at 219.

Other scores for SPHS included Clair Perry (56), Alicia Haywood (59), Carlee Schlatter (62) and Allacyn Arnold (70).

South Putnam is at Northview on Tuesday at 4:30 p.m. The Cougars are at Owen Valley on Monday at 4:30 p.m.
