GIRLS' JUNIOR GOLF
Deer Valley's Ashley Edwards continues to play in tough tournaments to prepare for the girls' golf program when the Bay Valley Athletic League play opens in about a month. The junior golfer qualified for a big tournament by shooting 75-77 at the Lake Merced course and headed to Charlotte, N.C. two weeks ago.
In the USGA Junior Girls Amateur, 156 golfers teed off for two rounds of medal play to try and qualify for the 64 spots open in match play. Edwards qualified and faced Isabelle Lendl, the 14-year-old daughter of tennis great Ivan Lendl. Isabelle eliminated Ashley 3 and 2 and went on to win two more matches.
