Some sports history this Fall at WHS - a GIRLS GOLF TEAM! With the popularity of golf for both boys and girls at the middle school level and the introduction of their golf program 3 years ago or so, the high school team was started this year with 5 members (4 freshmen and 1 sophomore) with more "Lady Knight Golfers" in the pipeline. Exciting stuff! GO BIG RED!
Meet your 2017 WHS Girls Golf Team!
L to R: Alisa Walters, Payton Ginter, Taylor Heasty, Lauren Bales and Kaitlynne Kreifels
