The University Heights Academy Lady Blazers continued their tight grasp on the Second Region All A Classic golf with a sixth straight team title on Thursday at the Hopkinsville Golf and Country Club.
Eighth-grader Ella Perry took the individual title with a 9-over par 80, following a double bogey with consecutive pars to edge teammate Campbell Lindsey by one shot.
Perry opened with birdies on two of her first three holes, endured a bit of a wobble with three straight bogeys after the turn, but righted the ship in time to become the fourth Lady Blazer in the past six years to claim the individual All A title.
Lindsey had 10 pars to shoot an 81, and last year’s region winner, Allie Sandifer, shot a 90 to claim a tie for fifth place.
Caroline Tucker had a solid round of 83, completing the top-three sweep for the Lady Blazers. Her day included three birdies and an eagle-3 on the par-5 16th hole.
While there was some doubt regarding which Lady Blazer would win the individual title, there was no such drama in the team score as UHA’s 334 easily outpaced runner-up Trigg County’s 432.
UHA’s region title was their sixth straight and eighth in the last nine years. They will play in the All A Classic State Tournament on August 30 at Arlington Golf Course in Richmond. UHA finished in third place last year.
