The Fernandina Beach High School girls golf team shot a season-low 181 against Yulee, and eight days later, posted another season low, a 176 in a win over Bishop Kenny.
FBHS defeated Yulee 181-263 on Oct. 6 at North Hampton. FBHS junior Elle Reisner was medalist with a 40. Senior Raleigh Simmons shot a 45, junior Emma Genovese a 47, and senior Zoey Gamba posted a 49. Seniors Carmen Green and Kate Heymann shot a 67 and 68, respectively.
“They had a tough loss to Bolles,” said Christina Steffen, head girls and boys golf coach at FBHS.
Bolles beat the Pirates 153-209 on Oct. 7. Reisner shot a 36, Gamba and sophomore Reese Talbert both had a 56, Simmons posted a 61, and junior McKayla Pollack shot a 67.
The Pirates rebounded this week, shooting their season-low 176 on Tuesday to beat Bishop Kenny (196) at the Amelia River Golf Club.
Reisner fired a 37 to lead the way, and Gamba and Genovese posted 44s. Simmons had a 51, Talbert a 60 and junior Savannah Minor a 71.
FBHS beat West Nassau with a 180 on Wednesday. The Warriors had just three players, so posted no team score.
Reisner shot a 33, Genovese and Gamba had 46s, Simmons posted a 55, Green a 56 and senior Andie Moeller a 70.
“Both teams are playing well,” Steffen said of the FBHS girls and boys teams. “We have districts and postseason approaching quickly, and both teams playing to their potential and hope it continues into postseason.”
