Transcript
- 0:07[SPEAKER_02]: You are listening to sports and beyond with Michelle Garmin, and it's only on the Central Indiana Sports Report.
- 0:14[SPEAKER_02]: Today, Michelle and I discuss the Madison County Girls Golf Tournament at Grand View on Monday with guest Kyla Bias and Jeff Bates of Frantan Oath.
- 0:29[SPEAKER_02]: Welcome Sports Fans to the Central Indiana Sports Report for this edition of Sports and Beyond.
- 0:34[SPEAKER_02]: with Michelle Garmin here to recap the Madison County Girl's Golf Tournament.
- 0:39[SPEAKER_02]: One easily by the lapel Bulldogs ring 8th in the state, and by Annabelle Marshall.
- 0:45[SPEAKER_02]: Here with a full recap is Titlan Tribune and Elwood Collider Sports Editor Michelle Garmin.
- 0:52[SPEAKER_02]: And now here with Michelle at Stage 22 to recap the Madison County Tournament and talk about what's been going on in her life as a sports reporter, the start of the Madison County Tournament.
- 1:03[SPEAKER_02]: We're going to talk about the Frank D'Negle so you are out there to cover, but let's talk about the Tournament first and the LaPelle Bulldogs a 155 and overwhelming winner.
- 1:15[SPEAKER_01]: Well, it's not surprising.
- 1:16[SPEAKER_01]: Lapella is ranked number eight in the state.
- 1:18[SPEAKER_01]: They've performed well in tournaments that they've been in with Nubblesville and South Eastern.
- 1:23[SPEAKER_01]: The heavy weights all seasons.
- 1:25[SPEAKER_01]: So there's a reason they're number eight.
- 1:27[SPEAKER_01]: And they showed that on Monday with their 155.
- 1:32[SPEAKER_01]: They're impressive.
- 1:33[SPEAKER_01]: They have really three what I consider strong offers.
- 1:37[SPEAKER_01]: And they're four and they're five.
- 1:38[SPEAKER_01]: One of them usually steps up to be that forth.
- 1:41[SPEAKER_01]: They kind of think scores I've seen.
- 1:45[SPEAKER_01]: They have rotated that a little bit which one does it and of course they're led by stay finals.
- 1:52[SPEAKER_01]: a year ago, and I know the team went last year, but Annabelle Marshall, she is just when you look at her, you're not necessarily going to think that she's as good as she is.
- 2:01[SPEAKER_01]: And they can hit the ball as far as she does.
- 2:03[SPEAKER_01]: She's got really good touch around the greens too.
- 2:06[SPEAKER_01]: She shot a 35 at Graham Review.
- 2:08[SPEAKER_01]: And then her teammate Jane Armington is also very good.
- 2:11[SPEAKER_01]: And she was just one shot behind Annabelle at the tournament.
- 2:17[SPEAKER_01]: and about with the 35, Jane with the 36, when you, your first two golfers shoot like that, it's gonna be a good day for the team, and it's been a good day for the team when it comes to mass and county tournament and La Pelle for the last few years.
- 2:30[SPEAKER_01]: That town without a golf course.
- 2:32[SPEAKER_01]: a town without a golf course, but some ways I think that may be their advantage because they play at edgewood sometimes they have matches at grand view uh... sometimes I think of better broke if they have to when you have to go around and you play those three golf courses
- 2:49[SPEAKER_01]: And the home course, just not in a bell this is right.
- 2:52[SPEAKER_01]: They do.
- 2:52[SPEAKER_01]: And I mean, edgewood is their preferred.
- 2:53[SPEAKER_01]: And that's where they play the regional.
- 2:54[SPEAKER_01]: And that's one reason that, you know, they get out of that section.
- 2:58[SPEAKER_01]: They're so dangerous at the regional because it is at their primary course.
- 3:02[SPEAKER_01]: I won't say their home course.
- 3:04[SPEAKER_01]: It's their primary course.
- 3:05[SPEAKER_01]: Right.
- 3:06[SPEAKER_01]: Especially because this year, this fall, the water and
- 3:10[SPEAKER_01]: rain has adjusted to where some of the courses that you go play on and what side of the course you played you play the front nine or do you play the back nine it all depends on where there's been water on these courses because I don't know how one would not know but Anderson was hit pretty hard by the floody yeah Alexander is their first match of the year
- 3:32[SPEAKER_01]: that affects your courses now the great thing for lapel is I'm sure if they needed to their close enough they could also try to get in at purgatory or even some of the other Hamilton County courses as well to get in and meet although Hamilton there's areas of Hamilton and some of them of course this is not the whole lot better no not a lot better so
- 3:56[SPEAKER_01]: they had Bella's shedderly and Morgan Garber each she 42 and Garber played the five person on Monday.
- 4:04[SPEAKER_02]: It's a good five to have.
- 4:05[SPEAKER_01]: It is a good five.
- 4:07[SPEAKER_01]: But Claire Hunger Castle played the former she shot 43.
- 4:11[SPEAKER_01]: Now she did not earn all county because all county goes to the top six and ties and they had four players tied for fourth so that that 42.
- 4:20[SPEAKER_01]: So shedderly and
- 4:25[SPEAKER_01]: made all county along with Frank's Kyla bias and Anderson's Addison going, the real battle at the county tournament was for second place and what it battle it was and it wasn't decided until Elm's Andrew is number five player came off the course because Anderson was
- 4:53[SPEAKER_01]: we're looking at right around there.
- 4:55[SPEAKER_01]: They're number five player came in.
- 4:58[SPEAKER_01]: They finished with 192.
- 5:00[SPEAKER_01]: But she shot two strokes better than Anderson's.
- 5:04[SPEAKER_01]: She shot a 64 and Anderson's five shot a 66.
- 5:11[SPEAKER_01]: That's right.
- 5:12[SPEAKER_01]: So for those that aren't familiar, the four lowest scores and golfer,
- 5:18[SPEAKER_01]: is recorded for and count towards your team score.
- 5:21[SPEAKER_01]: The fifth score is only used as a tiebreaker.
- 5:24[SPEAKER_01]: That's right.
- 5:25[SPEAKER_02]: That's why the fifth player is often so valuable.
- 5:28[SPEAKER_01]: Exactly.
- 5:30[SPEAKER_01]: You are right.
- 5:32[SPEAKER_01]: Anderson's number five players are teeny a cane, but came down to second place actually came down to their scores to stroke support.
- 5:40[SPEAKER_01]: Anderson finished third.
- 5:41[SPEAKER_01]: So with fourth place was Frank didn't it with Coach Jeff Bates said this was the Eagles best score of the season nine
- 5:52[SPEAKER_01]: And then they were one stroke better than Pettleton Heights to ended up fifth, and then mass in grant with a 231 was sixth around the county.
- 6:01[SPEAKER_01]: Great, it's kind of sad to think that the mass in county has all those high schools, but there's only six girls golf teams.
- 6:07[SPEAKER_02]: All right, well, let's talk about the Franken Eagles and before we do, I want to say that I met a player on the course who I just found fascinating.
- 6:17[SPEAKER_02]: She was so much fun to talk to and it was really nice to meet in her.
- 6:20[SPEAKER_02]: So I just wanted to mention Amber Lee Ross had a really good round of 44 and she is such a sweet kid.
- 6:26[SPEAKER_02]: Rob Hunt and the Anderson pair of bullets and when he saw her score he was happy for her and he said she was a neat girl He was very happy for because she was a it's obvious in a second in your meter that she is very personable all right Let's talk about of the Frank the Niggles and one of my all-time favorites is Kyla bias and She had a round of 42 she seemed okay with it.
- 6:48[SPEAKER_01]: She actually Kyla was pretty happy with it because she said that earlier should
- 6:55[SPEAKER_01]: few day, about three days ago, bar three days before their meat, she had shot a 49.
- 7:01[SPEAKER_01]: Now, background on Kyla.
- 7:04[SPEAKER_01]: She suffered a knee injury during basketball season and she was not allowed to do anything for four months So she had missed the entire summer tournaments So it's taking her a little bit to get into to the swing of things so to speak and the weather has not helped You know, and that's who I feel bad for I feel really bad for these seniors out there that are playing there Finally you're involved that we've had the flooding and that there's their season girls golf seasons short anyway because of
- 7:32[SPEAKER_01]: It's weather, I mean, it's the time of year it is.
- 7:34[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, it gets starts getting darker, early, so they have to compress it.
- 7:37[SPEAKER_01]: So when you compress it, you don't always get to make up a lot of matches.
- 7:42[SPEAKER_01]: Because when you, and you don't usually, but in the fall, you usually don't see any of us.
- 7:46[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, you usually don't, you lose a lot of matches.
- 7:48[SPEAKER_01]: That's right.
- 7:49[SPEAKER_01]: It's usually your biggest detriment in the fall.
- 7:51[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, so Kyla was pretty pleased with her 42.
- 7:54[SPEAKER_01]: Actually, let's hear exactly from Kyla because we talked about her
- 8:02[SPEAKER_01]: with the injury and staying away and how she had to rebuild her swing.
- 8:05[SPEAKER_01]: So let's hear it all straight from Kyle's mouth.
- 8:09[SPEAKER_01]: here with Frank and senior golfer, kind of a bias.
- 8:11[SPEAKER_00]: Yes ma'am.
- 8:12[SPEAKER_00]: Sorry, I took over that name and took about the same time.
- 8:16[SPEAKER_01]: Oh yeah, who shot a 42 or a fourth place tie for all county today?
- 8:22[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, so congratulations and nice job.
- 8:25[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you so much.
- 8:25[SPEAKER_00]: I'm actually, I'm really proud of myself for that because I think maybe like four or five days ago, I shot a 49 on this front nine.
- 8:34[SPEAKER_00]: I was feeling, I think I fish with my last four holes, I think probably one over or two over, just fine for me.
- 8:41[SPEAKER_01]: For you unfortunately, you had to miss some time because you injured your knee and dream basketball last year, I'm sure it affected your schedule and not to mention the weather.
- 8:51[SPEAKER_00]: Oh yeah, so basically going back to my knee, I heard it.
- 8:54[SPEAKER_00]: I was out for like four months.
- 8:55[SPEAKER_00]: I couldn't play any in the tournament because during the summer, I actually couldn't hit a golf ball.
- 9:00[SPEAKER_00]: Actually, I felt like my whole time swing and then I got off my papal and Mr. Bates and Rachel actually the golf pro he had grand beer and she fixed me up.
- 9:09[SPEAKER_00]: They fixed me up.
- 9:09[SPEAKER_00]: So even though it was a setback, my knee, I feel as I made a swing change that I needed to make.
- 9:16[SPEAKER_01]: It has to be tough.
- 9:17[SPEAKER_01]: You're a senior in with the storms and the floods.
- 9:20[SPEAKER_01]: So, to lose some matches is the season has had to be hard.
- 9:26[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's really, it's kind of more than a season to me because I started pretty late, freshman year.
- 9:31[SPEAKER_00]: I wish I would have played earlier, but it's more than just a couple matches.
- 9:34[SPEAKER_00]: So losing those and losing, especially the 18-hole matches, because who knows if I'm gonna play in college, I've been in some talkings with them, but,
- 9:41[SPEAKER_00]: Like who knows?
- 9:42[SPEAKER_00]: I just want to let life take me, but it really sucks especially seeing this back nine get Rain down.
- 9:48[SPEAKER_00]: I I went out and I like cried because that that's the course I learned how to play golf and seeing it have 25 feet of rain It made it made it made me upset.
- 9:56[SPEAKER_01]: I bet it did You know, actually I'm really impressed with the course today.
- 10:01[SPEAKER_01]: It looks pretty good.
- 10:02[SPEAKER_00]: It looks amazing.
- 10:03[SPEAKER_00]: It's playing a lot better than it did last week
- 10:07[SPEAKER_01]: How do you look at where you want your season to go from here?
- 10:11[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, it's all kind of pushing into CIC.
- 10:14[SPEAKER_00]: That is my favorite tournament.
- 10:15[SPEAKER_00]: I obviously won that last year.
- 10:17[SPEAKER_00]: So it's a new course other than the last two years.
- 10:20[SPEAKER_00]: And I got second my first year I got a point at it.
- 10:23[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm trying to go back to back.
- 10:24[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think anyone's went back to back from Franklin.
- 10:26[SPEAKER_00]: So I would like to.
- 10:27[SPEAKER_00]: The thing is when I heard debates talk about the course is so far.
- 10:30[SPEAKER_00]: If I'm going to try to at least if we don't play around the far team, I'm going to go play up with my papal.
- 10:37[SPEAKER_01]: The one thing to though, I guess the nice thing is that I don't believe Hartford City had all the flooding and rain issues that we had done this or that happened in Central Indiana.
- 10:49[SPEAKER_00]: We just played that course and the back nine, we played the back.
- 10:53[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm no clue what the front nine is.
- 10:54[SPEAKER_00]: I've never played the front.
- 10:55[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to play the back and it wasn't pretty good shape.
- 10:58[SPEAKER_00]: There was a little a little wet, but nothing too bad.
- 11:01[SPEAKER_01]: All right.
- 11:02[SPEAKER_01]: Well, thank you.
- 11:02[SPEAKER_01]: Congratulations and good luck on the CIC Saturday.
- 11:09[SPEAKER_01]: Coach Bates was really pleased with Abelie Stanley.
- 11:12[SPEAKER_01]: She's a first-year golfer.
- 11:13[SPEAKER_01]: It seems like every year he finds an athlete and I do mean an athlete because I'm frightened as I'm really good athlete that decide to play golf as a senior.
- 11:22[SPEAKER_01]: Even sometimes it might be a they're playing volleyball and golf.
- 11:25[SPEAKER_01]: But Abelie is a stand-out softball player on the Frank didn't lay the Eagles' softball team.
- 11:36[SPEAKER_01]: it was her season best, which meant make it her personal best.
- 11:39[SPEAKER_01]: So he was pleased with her and then we have Caitlyn Crum with a 54.
- 11:45[SPEAKER_01]: The Gender with a 56.
- 11:46[SPEAKER_01]: Kempers 55 was another personal best.
- 11:48[SPEAKER_01]: We'll hear from Jeff Bates here in just a moment and he'll talk about that round.
- 11:52[SPEAKER_01]: But again,
- 11:54[SPEAKER_01]: a good day for Franklin.
- 11:57[SPEAKER_01]: They were supposed to play it three way match with Blackford and I forget the third school, but obviously, Madison County Tournament had to be rescheduled.
- 12:05[SPEAKER_01]: They played Monday and only played nine as far as as opposed to 18 holes in the night.
- 12:09[SPEAKER_01]: Do know that that Jeff was a little disappointed that to lose an 18 hole match because we all know, Greg, that you don't, girls don't get a lot of 18 hole matches and
- 12:23[SPEAKER_01]: here with Franks and girls golf coach Jeff Bates, following the Madison County tournament fourth place team finish, fourth place tie for medalists.
- 12:34[SPEAKER_01]: Anyway, tell me about today's, I know this was kind of, Madison County County came up fast because I got the email and what late last week that
- 12:42[SPEAKER_01]: your schedule is rearranged a little bit.
- 12:44[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, we all these teams have been struggling with just finding time to get out because the courses have been under water.
- 12:54[SPEAKER_03]: So we've been fortunate here that we've been able to get out a little bit more than maybe some folks, but we still had to deal with all that water.
- 13:02[SPEAKER_03]: And so the girls are kind of out of sync a little bit.
- 13:06[SPEAKER_03]: And today was a nice feather in the
- 13:12[SPEAKER_03]: and we seem to be kind of trending in the direction we want to go.
- 13:16[SPEAKER_03]: So that is good, that is good.
- 13:18[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, so this is the time of year, because now that you know, sectionals just a few short weeks away, we'll get here, we'll be here before we know it.
- 13:27[SPEAKER_01]: So I guess this is the right time to start trending in the right direction.
- 13:30[SPEAKER_03]: Exactly.
- 13:31[SPEAKER_03]: And the nice thing is is like Kyla,
- 13:35[SPEAKER_03]: put up a nice score today.
- 13:37[SPEAKER_03]: She made all counting and so that's a real another accolade of the mini that she's had and we need her to put up those was scores but we also had two players that put up season best today scores and so.
- 13:51[SPEAKER_03]: And this players were?
- 13:52[SPEAKER_03]: Avali Stanley.
- 13:54[SPEAKER_03]: She put up her best of the season and of course this is her first year.
- 13:59[SPEAKER_03]: Plain so we needed her.
- 14:02[SPEAKER_03]: She was the second
- 14:05[SPEAKER_03]: and Madison Kimper also put up a season best and so that has helped a lot.
- 14:12[SPEAKER_01]: So when's your next big tournament?
- 14:13[SPEAKER_01]: Of course the one bad thing about this having to be played to move to a weeknight, you only got to play nine.
- 14:18[SPEAKER_01]: So when is your next 18-hole match?
- 14:20[SPEAKER_01]: Because I know those are at a premium because sectional's 18-hole.
- 14:24[SPEAKER_03]: Exactly and we've had the cancel already two of our 18-hole tournaments because of the weather.
- 14:34[SPEAKER_03]: We have our CIC or conference coming up this Saturday, that'll be at Etna Ackers.
- 14:40[SPEAKER_03]: That's being hosted by Blackford.
- 14:43[SPEAKER_03]: And so we'll go up there north of Marion and play that 18 holes.
- 14:47[SPEAKER_03]: Hopefully we'll play as well as what we did today.
- 14:50[SPEAKER_03]: If we do and we keep kind of trending that direction, who knows?
- 14:55[SPEAKER_03]: What might happen?
- 14:56[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and of course now the section has been moved to Stonehenge, different course.
- 15:00[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know much about that course.
- 15:02[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know are you going to get an opportunity to play any golf there?
- 15:06[SPEAKER_03]: We won't.
- 15:07[SPEAKER_03]: Just because of our schedule, we're already locked in to the courses we're going to play.
- 15:12[SPEAKER_03]: Now we're going to try to go up and do a practice round up there.
- 15:16[SPEAKER_03]: Otherwise we don't usually get a chance to go that direction.
- 15:18[SPEAKER_02]: All right.
- 15:20[SPEAKER_02]: Thank you coach and before we go Michelle we're going to talk about the CIC coming up and what you've got going on but I want to talk about my favorite team the Madison grant our Giles I used to be a teacher at Madison grant and I knew four of the five players and it was really good to see them again and they finished last but they were first in my heart
- 15:39[SPEAKER_01]: I want to give a shout out to Madison Grant.
- 15:40[SPEAKER_01]: This is the first time in a while that Madison Grant has put together five golfers for girls golf.
- 15:46[SPEAKER_01]: And I think it's outstanding.
- 15:48[SPEAKER_01]: And I really believe more people girls need to get out there and play golf.
- 15:53[SPEAKER_01]: If you're looking to be a part of something, the seasons compressed and golf is a lifelong gate.
- 16:00[SPEAKER_01]: As you will find, if you go in the business world, there will be more deals and more business
- 16:09[SPEAKER_02]: And a couple of track stars, a couple of sectional champions came out to golf in Piper Howard and Abbey Winchester and they were led by Miley Bashar and Sarah Zerkel who both shot 56's, paisley rock with a 60.
- 16:23[SPEAKER_01]: I will say this track is an individual sport too, so mental fortitude with golf at Helps and I think if you are individual sports, it's really fun and because you can only look in the mirror if things don't go right.
- 16:36[SPEAKER_02]: All right, Michelle, what are you got going on at the Tipton Tribune and I would call leader and what's coming up on this podcast and do a little preview of the CIC golf tournament coming up this weekend.
- 16:46[SPEAKER_01]: Well, what I have coming up is I went my watch Frankton and Tracentral volleyball on Tuesday night.
- 16:52[SPEAKER_01]: It was a varsity only match at start at six.
- 16:55[SPEAKER_01]: Frankton one and three wins day.
- 16:57[SPEAKER_01]: I will be covering the tipped in at Tracentral high school girls soccer match.
- 17:02[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's a Saturday that Elwood has their flagged football, that triple header, they play two games.
- 17:07[SPEAKER_01]: So I am gonna come over to Elwood and watch one of those weather provided.
- 17:12[SPEAKER_01]: Friday night I have the Elwood at Tracentral
- 17:15[SPEAKER_01]: football game, so that will be interesting.
- 17:19[SPEAKER_02]: And then Saturday is the CIC Golf.
- 17:21[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, Saturday is the CIC Golf Tournament where Kyle Bias is the defending conference champion, and it hurt when you heard her speak earlier.
- 17:32[SPEAKER_01]: She talked about how she's really focused in and
- 17:36[SPEAKER_01]: She said her, if the team didn't make it up there for a practice round, she knew her and her pop-all would make it up there so she could play before Saturday because it's important to her to repeat if at all possible, she said she'd be the first Franklin Golfer to maybe they ever do it.
- 17:53[SPEAKER_02]: I would imagine, so there was no such thing as Franklin Golf, not that long ago.
- 17:57[SPEAKER_02]: Another town without a golf course that has a golf team?
- 18:00[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
- 18:00[SPEAKER_02]: Pretty cool.
- 18:01[SPEAKER_02]: She'll think so much.
- 18:02[SPEAKER_02]: Let's go play some cards.
- 18:03[SPEAKER_01]: Alright.
- 18:08[SPEAKER_02]: Thanks so much for listening to sports and beyond with Michelle Garmin will be back very soon nearly a daily podcast to this point.
