[SPEAKER_06]: We're also going to have a team power pole this week.
1:25
[SPEAKER_06]: It's a new format.
1:26
[SPEAKER_06]: It's something we've done with football, but we haven't done with any other sports yet.
1:31
[SPEAKER_06]: but we're excited to give it a shot.
1:33
[SPEAKER_06]: It'll be one different sport every week, pretty much six days a week, during the fall and I'm excited.
1:40
[SPEAKER_03]: This is the podcast's expanding its area and everything.
1:46
[SPEAKER_03]: It makes it exciting.
1:47
[SPEAKER_03]: Now that it wasn't before, but it makes it even more exciting and challenging because by including more Hamilton County and Boone County and Hancock.
2:00
[SPEAKER_03]: Hancock, I mean, some of these sports is just going to be, uh, it's, we're going to have some really great results.
2:06
[SPEAKER_03]: So picking players and performers of the day of the week, are going to, is going to be a tough chore.
2:12
[SPEAKER_06]: Glad you brought up the adding teams to the area.
2:15
[SPEAKER_06]: We, I just figured.
2:17
[SPEAKER_06]: Our teams played these teams so much that we might as well include them, especially Hamilton County, but also Hancock County and Boone.
2:26
[SPEAKER_06]: Our teams just play them all the time and it made sense and going north as well to Clinton and Carroll.
2:33
[SPEAKER_06]: They were in our conferences already with all of our teams, so it just made sense.
2:38
[SPEAKER_06]: So welcome to the new programs that we're including.
2:42
[SPEAKER_06]: We will have a full list very soon, but it's just over fifty schools, Michelle.
2:48
[SPEAKER_03]: You're going to always have to have a nice big tall water with you when you give, when you go through your daily scoreboard.
2:56
[SPEAKER_06]: That's right.
2:56
[SPEAKER_06]: It's going to take a lot of work with.
2:59
[SPEAKER_06]: As you know, it's what I love to do.
3:01
[SPEAKER_03]: All right.
3:01
[SPEAKER_06]: Here we go, Michelle.
3:02
[SPEAKER_06]: Let's do a recap first and we'll start with the highlights and before we do that, I want to say that as a reporter, I should tell you that
3:13
[SPEAKER_06]: And our first week I did rely on AI probably a little too much for results and as we know AI isn't perfect yet.
3:21
[SPEAKER_06]: If there are actual mistakes Michelle blame the machines.
3:25
[SPEAKER_06]: That's right, blame him.
3:26
[SPEAKER_06]: And here we go.
3:28
[SPEAKER_06]: On Monday, number two, Noble Sville and their senior star Josie Kelly got off to an amazing start at by winning the homestead invitational with a team score of two, ninety eight at Chestnut Hills in Fort Wayne.
3:40
[SPEAKER_06]: And then Michelle will get to Wednesday's result coming up head to head with number one and defending state champions, Zion'sville.
3:47
[SPEAKER_06]: Might as well tell you that Noble Sville is going to be one of our team of the week finalists, Michelle's boiler alert.
3:54
[SPEAKER_06]: there and they're going to be a heavy favorite to win it as good as the other teams have been early in the season.
4:00
[SPEAKER_06]: There's just no question about who the best team has been so far.
4:04
[SPEAKER_06]: Kelly was the individual champion with a sixty-eight carol senior Taylor Larkins was fourth overall with a seventy-four.
4:12
[SPEAKER_03]: And that's fantastic for her.
4:15
[SPEAKER_03]: Those are nice rounds, especially this Monday was the first day they could have meets.
4:18
[SPEAKER_03]: So and they they're first official practices were not until last Friday.
4:22
[SPEAKER_03]: Now granted, these golfers that we're talking about with these low scores, especially from those Hamilton County schools and stuff, they've played all summer.
4:32
[SPEAKER_06]: No, of course, yes.
4:34
[SPEAKER_06]: The players who are serious about it have played all summer.
4:37
[SPEAKER_06]: In fact, I've got an interview coming up with the Franklin Girls Golf Team and Kyla Bias is a player who played all summer and it is showing already.
4:46
[SPEAKER_06]: We're going to have an interview with her and Kinsey Blackford, her senior teammate and head coach Jeff Bates coming up right after our results, our powerful and our players and teams of the week.
4:59
[SPEAKER_06]: Also on Monday, number one, Zion'sville won the Plainfield Invitational with a school record two, seventy-three at Dear Creek.
5:08
[SPEAKER_06]: Defend East State Champion Taylor snively went seven under par, yes, Michelle, seven under in the first round of the season for eight team holes with a sixty-five to win the individual title.
5:20
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, that doesn't surprise me great because and the first round and the Indiana open for the women and people need to understand that Indiana open is all ages.
5:31
[SPEAKER_03]: There's no age group bracket.
5:32
[SPEAKER_03]: So, and it's even pros from golf clubs and stuff.
5:35
[SPEAKER_03]: And she shot a five under her first round of the Indiana open.
5:41
[SPEAKER_06]: She's the favorite to win the state championship again as a sophomore, but it is not going to be easy.
5:47
[SPEAKER_06]: This incoming freshman class is incredible.
5:52
[SPEAKER_06]: Lapel won the Pinnleton Preview with a team score of three thirty six at Fall Creek.
5:57
[SPEAKER_06]: Malvernon was second nine shots behind the Bulldogs Anderson finished third.
6:01
[SPEAKER_06]: That's really good to see.
6:02
[SPEAKER_06]: And the host of radians were fourth.
6:05
[SPEAKER_06]: Malvernon's Resy Lemon was the individual champion followed by Lapel's Jane Armington seventy seven and Annabelle Marshall seventy nine.
6:16
[SPEAKER_03]: Lepel is one of those teams that's going to challenge for that third advancing team spot at the Knucklesville sectional.
6:26
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't think there's any doubt that the host millers will repeat as their own sectional champions at Harvard trees in September.
6:34
[SPEAKER_03]: And I would expect Hamilton South Eastern to be second and then Lepel is among a group of maybe about three or four teams that can challenge for that third spot.
6:46
[SPEAKER_06]: No doubt about it.
6:47
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, no, the Pendleton's best player, the one I think that won the county last year, and I believe she got out as an individual, the sexual, too, is now playing it.
7:00
[SPEAKER_06]: Now, just still sophomore, so I don't think any of those players who are seeing years in fact, Michelle, a three-way meet at Pebble Brook,
7:08
[SPEAKER_06]: Carmel B. Westfield, three hundred to three thirteen.
7:12
[SPEAKER_06]: The cow was third with three twenty five in a matchup of three state finalists from last year.
7:19
[SPEAKER_06]: Maya Fujisawa Kooling was the medalist.
7:22
[SPEAKER_06]: She is a freshman.
7:24
[SPEAKER_06]: She beat Westfield's Lily Koo by seven strokes.
7:28
[SPEAKER_06]: Three under sixty nine and what a week she had.
7:34
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, she did.
7:35
[SPEAKER_03]: She had a great week, you know, the car roll.
7:41
[SPEAKER_03]: Girls, they will be a contender come late, you know, come that September or that first weekend in October, the girl's state finals.
7:51
[SPEAKER_06]: I have opinions on that Michelle, I'll talk about that when I get to the power pool.
7:55
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.
7:58
[SPEAKER_06]: You talk about Burston onto a scene, man.
8:00
[SPEAKER_06]: What a week she had.
8:01
[SPEAKER_06]: We'll get to more of her results coming up.
8:03
[SPEAKER_06]: Western Boone won the Seeger Invitational at Harrison Hills.
8:07
[SPEAKER_06]: Ali Lewis was the individual champion for the stars, with a personal best round of seventy-nine.
8:12
[SPEAKER_06]: Tara Hotes South was second.
8:14
[SPEAKER_06]: Tipton was third with a three ninety led by Josie Butler, who was third overall with an eighty-five Michelle, but not Tipton's best day.
8:22
[SPEAKER_03]: No, it wasn't their best day.
8:25
[SPEAKER_03]: That season opening event and that one new face kind of brand new or not totally brand new to golf.
8:34
[SPEAKER_03]: But I think she's maybe a freshman and then they have a brand new face to the tip to the lady that will team not to golf.
8:43
[SPEAKER_03]: not their best day, but that's okay because when we get to talking about Tuesday, we're going to see just how impressive they were at a bounce back after traveling to see your for an eighteen-holamentational on Monday.
8:57
[SPEAKER_06]: And we will get to that in just a second.
9:00
[SPEAKER_06]: Frank didn't finish third in Kyla Bias, finished third individually with an eighty-five at the season opener.
9:06
[SPEAKER_06]: It's the South Adams Invitation Alumni Valley in
9:10
[SPEAKER_06]: Fort Wayne, which we just heard about in a podcast that we did.
9:14
[SPEAKER_06]: The Eagle shot a team, four-o-two, behind only champion Bluffton and Adam Central.
9:21
[SPEAKER_06]: And in a dual-me, Eastern, rival, Northwestern, two-o-nine, to two, forty-six.
9:27
[SPEAKER_06]: Tegan Bedwell was the medalist for whether forty-three, and we're not done hearing from her.
9:33
[SPEAKER_03]: That was a nice opening win match went for Eastern, they really
9:39
[SPEAKER_03]: made big strides.
9:40
[SPEAKER_03]: They made big strides a year ago and in their program.
9:44
[SPEAKER_03]: And so I think they are looking to make even more strides again this season.
9:49
[SPEAKER_06]: And talk about Kyla Bias that is a kid who just loves the game of golf.
9:55
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, yes.
9:56
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, what?
9:56
[SPEAKER_03]: And, you know, a nice young lady.
9:59
[SPEAKER_06]: The best.
10:00
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, frightened.
10:02
[SPEAKER_03]: Right, well, basically, grade the area schools, we're familiar with all the golfers that we've covered in the past and everything else I will say.
10:14
[SPEAKER_03]: We have some tremendous, every school has tremendous generalities and they should all be proud by the, yeah, the representatives of their golf teams because they, I believe.
10:24
[SPEAKER_06]: On Tuesday, Zion'sville won the Lafayette Jeff Booster Club Invitational at Battleground with a two eighty six.
10:32
[SPEAKER_06]: The Eagles had five of the top eight players in the top two and Taylor snively, who shot a sixty-seven, and Paige Henniew had a career best seventy-one.
10:42
[SPEAKER_06]: Also for the Eagles, Olivia Patton seventy-three, Amaya Wade seventy-four, Avery Lewis seventy-five.
10:49
[SPEAKER_06]: That's incredible.
10:50
[SPEAKER_06]: What's second with a three-o-eight led by Lily Coos seventy-four?
10:54
[SPEAKER_03]: Valaground, that is a regional golf course.
10:57
[SPEAKER_03]: And I believe I know Westfield goes there.
11:00
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm not sure if that's where Zion's will goes or not.
11:03
[SPEAKER_03]: It's bowing around the Zayah.
11:05
[SPEAKER_03]: It's a nice course.
11:06
[SPEAKER_03]: It's a challenging course.
11:07
[SPEAKER_03]: So, you know, those were really good results.
11:10
[SPEAKER_06]: Another great team, Carmel, won the Hamilton South Eastern Invitational at Stony Creek with around a three hundredth, their fourth straight Hamilton South Eastern Championship.
11:20
[SPEAKER_06]: Fujisawa, hold on.

[SPEAKER_06]: My effu just saw a Qling who we mentioned earlier was the medalist with a sixty five in her second round ever as a varsity golfer.
11:32
[SPEAKER_06]: Read was third over all of the seventy four of the gray hounds five gray hounds shot a seventy nine or better.
11:41
[SPEAKER_03]: Cardinal athletics are just pretty good overall anyway.
11:46
[SPEAKER_03]: If you point out a bad carmel to you to me, I'm not very many.
11:50
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't think they have one to be on a screw.
11:53
[SPEAKER_03]: I, you know, they, they challenge in pretty much everything.
11:58

12:31
[SPEAKER_03]: No, a seventy one a seventy eight and then Josie Butler was the fourth place medalist.
12:38
[SPEAKER_03]: I think her score was eighty two or eighty four
12:42
[SPEAKER_03]: Coach Bales told me he was really thought Josie's score was pretty impressive considering he said she did not put well that day.
12:50
[SPEAKER_03]: He said she left a lot of puts on the green and
12:54
[SPEAKER_03]: So, but you know, you and I interview Josie before the season started.
13:00
[SPEAKER_03]: We talked about her commitment and one of the things she said was that, you know, she spent the summer.
13:04
[SPEAKER_03]: They made a change in her swing.
13:07
[SPEAKER_03]: So I would expect her scores to start really dropping here in the next couple weeks.
13:12
[SPEAKER_03]: The more she plays because I believe she's gained more and more comfortable with that swing adjustment that she made.
13:21
[SPEAKER_06]: Alexandria shot a one eighty four and defeated Elwood by fifty strokes at the links in Elwood.

18:32
[SPEAKER_06]: Caramel Freshman Maya Fujisawa Kulin, and I'm sorry if I missed pronouncing that, but I think I have it right.
18:38
[SPEAKER_06]: What a first week of the season for the Caramel Freshman, you talk about making a splashman.
18:43
[SPEAKER_06]: She won the Hamilton South Eastern Invitational, the Jeff Booster Invitational at Battleground, and then had a meat best, sixty-five in their meat on Wednesday, all three rounds under par and all three rounds, easily under par.

[SPEAKER_06]: And finally, defending state champion Taylor Snively, a sophomore at Zyonsville, shot a ridiculous sixty-five, and help Zyonsville

[SPEAKER_06]: to a ridiculous team score of two seventy three to win the playingville invitational on monday that was a deer creek later in the week snively shot a sixty seven and then a nine whole round of thirty five finishing one stroke behind no bullsville's Olivia Fowler and Michelle who do you think is the central Indian sports report girls golfer of the week here's the thing it doesn't matter because we whichever one
20:15
[SPEAKER_03]: which everyone doesn't get it here in the next couple, you know, or get it at some point.
20:22
[SPEAKER_06]: It's probably going to go back and forth between them and Josie Kelly and a few others.
20:27
[SPEAKER_06]: We'll try to mix it up.
20:28
[SPEAKER_06]: We'll try not to make it the same people over and over, but we're going to hear these names a lot.
20:33
[SPEAKER_03]: We are going to hear these names a lot.
20:37
[SPEAKER_03]: I think for me, the golfer in the week would probably have to be the caramel freshman because when you're a freshman and just come out and what she did is to start your season.
20:50
[SPEAKER_06]: I can't imagine a player in Indiana history having a better first week of her freshman season.
20:55
[SPEAKER_06]: Congratulations to Maya Fujisawa Kueling, the central Indiana Sports Report girls golfer of the week.
21:04
[SPEAKER_06]: I'd have for our performance of the week, Michelle.
21:07
[SPEAKER_06]: the best performance in a single round.
21:10
[SPEAKER_06]: And if a player is nominated for player the week, we will not have them in performance of the week and vice versa.
21:15
[SPEAKER_06]: Our performance of the week finalists first in an alphabetical order.
21:20
[SPEAKER_06]: Wapahani senior Kinsey Brandon was the medalist in a three way meet to start the season for the Raiders against Eastern Hancock and Union.
21:28
[SPEAKER_06]: She shot a forty four at Cardinal Hills.
21:31
[SPEAKER_06]: Noblesville senior Olivia Fowler was the medalist in a three way meet
21:35
[SPEAKER_06]: against number one Zionsville with a two under thirty-fourth trophy club, defeating Raining State Champion Taylor Snively by a stroke.
21:45
[SPEAKER_06]: Noblesville Senior Josie Kelly went three under par sixty-eight to win the individual title at the homestead invitational at Chestnut Hills and the season opener for the millers.
21:56
[SPEAKER_06]: Eastern Junior Sophie Cretz shot a career best forty-one was metalyst
22:01
[SPEAKER_06]: and the comet's thirty two stroke win over Cassette Logan sport and tipped in junior Kennedy Lancaster shot a career best seventy one one under par to win the rinsalier central invitational and helped the blue devils to the team title Michelle the performance of the week is
22:18
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, before I get to who it is, I just want to mention again with Lancaster weekend and he had probably the worst round she's had since her freshman year and the opener on Monday.
22:31
[SPEAKER_03]: She shot at eight and nine, I believe.
22:33
[SPEAKER_03]: So she comes back and makes an eighteen stroke difference in her score on Tuesday.
22:39
[SPEAKER_03]: A shout out to her for what she did and how she played that day.
22:44
[SPEAKER_03]: I think at any time that you have
22:46
[SPEAKER_03]: Number one versus number two, and they shoot, and you go under par, and I know it's just nine holes, but that's probably your performance of the week.
22:56
[SPEAKER_06]: No doubt about it.
22:57
[SPEAKER_06]: If you beat Taylor snively, I think you probably automatically are the performance of the week, right?
23:03
[SPEAKER_03]: Probably, yes.
23:05
[SPEAKER_03]: So that, a great job by Olivia Fowler.
23:08
[SPEAKER_06]: Yes.
23:09
[SPEAKER_06]: What a great tandem with her and Josie.
23:12
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes.
23:13
[SPEAKER_06]: and our team of the week finalists eastern defeated lapel cast and Madison Grant to go three and oh and dual meets and the first week of the season lapel won the pinnleton preview with the team score of three thirty six defeating runner up Mount Vernon by nine strokes no bullsville won the blooming to the south invitation with a three thirteen monday then the number two millers defeated number one science bill by five strokes on Wednesday
23:43
[SPEAKER_06]: Western Boone won the Seeker Invitational at Harrison Hills in Attica and was unbeaten in its first week and defending state champion Zion'sville shot a school record eight for eighteen holes to seventy three to win the playing field invitational.
23:59
[SPEAKER_06]: Then the next day they won the Invitational at Battleground in Lafayette.
24:04
[SPEAKER_06]: Then they lost head to head with number two Noblesville Wednesday.
24:07
[SPEAKER_06]: So the team of the week Michelle is pretty obvious.
24:10
[SPEAKER_03]: team of the weekend has got to definitely be the Noblesville Miller.
24:14
[SPEAKER_03]: I just want to trim in this thing.
24:16
[SPEAKER_03]: Like I said, we had some really good team of the weeks.
24:21
[SPEAKER_03]: I didn't even have Carmel down there as a finalist for team of the week.
24:24
[SPEAKER_03]: Back to back, you know, because we want to get as other teams too.
24:28
[SPEAKER_03]: It just tells you how good noblesville, how good noblesville performed last week.
24:35
[SPEAKER_06]: Incredible.
24:36
[SPEAKER_06]: All right, Michelle, let's get to our first top ten power pole and I put noblesville at number one.
24:43
[SPEAKER_06]: I could still see an argument for Zion'sville being number one or even Carmel, Michelle.
24:49
[SPEAKER_06]: But those are the top three without question.
24:51
[SPEAKER_06]: I think they're on a level to themselves right now.
24:53
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, I agree.
24:55
[SPEAKER_03]: And I would give it to Noblesville after this week.
24:58
[SPEAKER_03]: These rankings are subject to change week to week and probably will.
25:03
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, when you go out and you beat number one, and the defending state champ, noblesville is where they right now, they're number one in the state.
25:11
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes.
25:12
[SPEAKER_06]: I have a feeling that Zion'sville, Carmel, and noblesville will be beating each other a lot because they play each other a lot.
25:19
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes.
25:20
[SPEAKER_06]: And it seems to me that those are probably the three team for the state title in October, but
25:26
[SPEAKER_06]: four times state champion Hamilton Southeastern and Westfield are four and five in our poll and of course those teams and programs have the ability to get to the top level.
25:37
[SPEAKER_03]: Most definitely they really do that as we said earlier.
25:44
[SPEAKER_03]: the strength of golf high school golf in Indiana runs through Hamilton and Boone County on a consistent basis.
25:53
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean if a team from one of those two counties is not the state champion they are taking their
26:01
[SPEAKER_03]: taking home a runner-up or, you know, a third finish stroke team trophy.
26:05
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, that's just, that's good.
26:07
[SPEAKER_03]: That golf is that good.
26:09
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, it is.
26:11
[SPEAKER_03]: Central Indiana, especially those two counties.
26:16
[SPEAKER_06]: Fishers, New Palestine, Mount Vernon, and Lapelle are six seven eight and nine.
26:21
[SPEAKER_06]: That's the order I chose Michelle, but that could be any order.
26:25
[SPEAKER_03]: It could, we'll get more of a, get definitely more of an idea with these, uh,
26:31
[SPEAKER_03]: uh, these seems near as they after this weekend.
26:34
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm sure most of them play in an eighteen hole in the tation on Saturday.
26:40
[SPEAKER_03]: I think there will be a lot of movement after those top three in our pool every week.
26:47
[SPEAKER_06]: Right now, I'm going to have western boon at number ten by virtue of beating tipped in on Monday.
26:51
[SPEAKER_06]: I put tipped in and gear in at eleven and twelve.
26:55
[SPEAKER_06]: I may expand this to twenty Michelle if we decide that there are twenty teams worthy of putting in a pole.
27:02
[SPEAKER_06]: And I also want to mention Yorktown, Franklin, and Alexander who had great weeks.
27:06
[SPEAKER_06]: And of course, Eastern which went three in dual matches.
27:10
[SPEAKER_06]: And once again, Michelle, we might have player rankings next week.
27:14
[SPEAKER_06]: I might wait two weeks to get a better idea.
27:18
[SPEAKER_06]: And of course you and I, Michelle love golf and we'll be doing this pretty much every week.
27:23
[SPEAKER_06]: We will be doing all of the other sports as well.
27:26
[SPEAKER_06]: Sometimes with you, sometimes with other media, sometimes with coaches and we will have team player performances of the week and depending on the sport, we'll have some player rankings and things like that and look forward to bringing this to you every day, especially once season two gets underway and that'll be a week for Monday, Michelle.
27:46
[SPEAKER_06]: Thank you so much.
27:47
[SPEAKER_06]: Please stay tuned for Jeff Bates, Kyla Bias and Kinsey Blackford of the Franklin Eagles.
27:54
[SPEAKER_00]: You're listening to the central Indiana Sports Report with your host, Greg Menjow.
28:02
[SPEAKER_06]: And now I'm doing out here at Meadow Brook golf course right before practice.
28:06
[SPEAKER_06]: In fact, I'm probably intruding on practice with Frank and had coach Jeff Bates and also Kenzie Blackford and Kyla Bias and coach welcome and welcome to a new season.
28:18
[SPEAKER_06]: Thank you, Greg, you appreciate it.
28:20
[SPEAKER_06]: Looking forward to coach, why don't you before we get to the rest of your team introduce these two and tell us
28:28
[SPEAKER_06]: about their games and about them as as in players.
28:32
[SPEAKER_05]: Well both are returning varsity players from last season.
28:36
[SPEAKER_05]: Kinsey is a senior Kinsey Blackford and Kyla Bias is a junior and we have lots of big hopes for them and expectations for this season.
28:50
[SPEAKER_06]: Get a lot of rounds in Kylo this summer.
28:52
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, yeah, I played almost every single day at any time When I came out here into this last year, you asked to have been playing at all summer in one hand shot up in the air.
29:05
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, and it shows too.
29:09
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, it shows she's been playing extremely well.
29:12
[SPEAKER_05]: She's come right in and hasn't missed a beat third place
29:15
[SPEAKER_05]: Third place in the first tournament.
29:17
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, uh, eighty-five.
29:19
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.
29:20
[SPEAKER_05]: That's actually, I think the lowest that we've ever had in that tournament from anybody from our team.
29:26
[SPEAKER_05]: So, uh, because it's a pretty tough place to start.
29:30
[SPEAKER_05]: It's kind of tight, uh, up there.
29:32
[SPEAKER_05]: And, uh, I'd hate to leave out there.
29:35
[SPEAKER_05]: A few.
29:36
[SPEAKER_01]: A few, yeah.
29:37
[SPEAKER_01]: I actually, a couple of holes I actually did struggle, but I think it's my middle game that saved me.
29:44
[SPEAKER_06]: You've talked about your mental game in the past.
29:47
[SPEAKER_06]: Talk about how that progressed over the last year since we've talked.
29:51
[SPEAKER_01]: I think since the last year that we talked, the last time we talked, I used to get like really, really mad about my game if something wasn't going right.
29:59
[SPEAKER_01]: And that would just like, that just leads to never anything good.
30:03
[SPEAKER_01]: So I really tried to just like breathe and just forget and just always like next shot.
30:07
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm gonna work with my swing coach Rachel with that.
30:10
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think it's really paid off.
30:11
[SPEAKER_06]: Let's Rachel tell you.
30:13
[SPEAKER_01]: She's really taught me my swing my canics and we just go out and she teaches me just like not to play in my head because I used to play so much in my head and I think it's I think she's really like one of the best
30:28
[SPEAKER_06]: All right, and Coach introduces Dick Kinsey and then we want to talk to Kinsey.
30:31
[SPEAKER_06]: Tell us about her game and how she's been playing.
30:34
[SPEAKER_05]: She's got a fantastic game.
30:36
[SPEAKER_05]: She's got a beautiful swing when it comes to just looking at it in video.
30:44
[SPEAKER_05]: And I think that she has an opportunity to put up some low scores this season.
30:51
[SPEAKER_06]: Kinsey, can you believe your senior year has begun?
30:54
[SPEAKER_02]: I can't, but I'm so ready.
30:56
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm excited.
30:57
[SPEAKER_06]: I remember the beginning of my senior year as a frightened eagle and it was an exciting time in my life for sure.
31:05
[SPEAKER_06]: Kenzie, you're senior year as I just mentioned, what's different with this team than last year in particular?
31:11
[SPEAKER_02]: There's definitely a lot of more weight put on me and my other fellow senior teammates, but I'm excited for the progress that we're going to make.
31:24
[SPEAKER_05]: Coach Dallas about the seniors.
31:26
[SPEAKER_05]: Good group of seniors, had him for a long time.
31:30
[SPEAKER_05]: They started off in the program, obviously, his freshman.
31:34
[SPEAKER_05]: And I've just kept working at it and getting better and getting better every year.
31:38
[SPEAKER_05]: And now it's their turn to lead.
31:40
[SPEAKER_06]: So he's seniors.
31:41
[SPEAKER_05]: We have four seniors.
31:43
[SPEAKER_05]: Four seniors.
31:44
[SPEAKER_05]: Yep, we have Kinsey.
31:45
[SPEAKER_05]: We have Makaya Tristle.
31:48
[SPEAKER_05]: Have Abby Bailey.
31:51
[SPEAKER_05]: And Jay Lynn South.
31:54
[SPEAKER_06]: Tell me a little bit about each of them and where they are in their games at this point coach.
32:00
[SPEAKER_05]: Jay Lange has started with us a little bit later.
32:04
[SPEAKER_05]: So she's still coming around, but she played decent in the last tournament at the South Adams.
32:14
[SPEAKER_05]: Mikhail has been with us from the beginning.
32:17
[SPEAKER_05]: And Mikhail is going to be caught on to, you know,
32:24
[SPEAKER_05]: be a leader and also put up some low numbers too.
32:29
[SPEAKER_05]: And then Abby has just, she's an element, has a beautiful swing, a simple swing, and she hits the ball most of the time pretty straight and plays just a simple game that way and allows her to go low sometimes.
32:49
[SPEAKER_06]: And Kyla is a junior who are your other underclassmen.
32:53
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay, so McCarthy Gender.
32:57
[SPEAKER_05]: She will probably play some varsity and have some varsity time.
33:01
[SPEAKER_05]: She hits the ball well.
33:04
[SPEAKER_05]: Then we have Sienna.
33:08
[SPEAKER_05]: Then we have some softwares in Caitlyn chrome.
33:12
[SPEAKER_05]: She comes with kind of a softball background.
33:15
[SPEAKER_05]: So when she can next with the golf ball, she hits it a long way.
33:21
[SPEAKER_05]: We have Sidney McCarthy and we have Madison Kemper.
33:27
[SPEAKER_06]: All right, Coach, let's talk about Monday.
33:29
[SPEAKER_06]: It's your only match of the season so far and a third place finish of the team we mentioned the Kylo was third, but the team was also third fantastic way to start the season.
33:38
[SPEAKER_05]: Thank you.
33:38
[SPEAKER_05]: It was a great way to start the season.
33:41
[SPEAKER_05]: You know, we go up against some decent teams that we don't usually see during the season.
33:46
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's nice.
33:47
[SPEAKER_05]: Yes, it's nice to go north and see some of those teams.
33:51
[SPEAKER_05]: And there's some good teams up there that we get run into.
33:55
[SPEAKER_05]: Norwell's always good, Bluffton's always good, South Adams.
34:00
[SPEAKER_05]: And there's several others in that, those pairings that usually... The fortway suburbs.
34:07
[SPEAKER_05]: Yes, produce some really good players.
34:10
[SPEAKER_06]: and at the team meet your expectation.
34:14
[SPEAKER_06]: Exceed it was it below what you were expecting.
34:16
[SPEAKER_05]: We were kind of right where I thought we might be.
34:19
[SPEAKER_05]: I have thought that we might be in that second, third place area.
34:24
[SPEAKER_05]: We got third.
34:26
[SPEAKER_05]: Kyla kind of exceeded my expectations a little bit.
34:30
[SPEAKER_05]: And the fact that finish in third was such a nice low score at a tough course.
34:38
[SPEAKER_05]: And so I think we got a
34:42
[SPEAKER_05]: some improvement to do, but yet at the same time, I saw a lot of positives out of our meat.
34:50
[SPEAKER_06]: And Kyla, you obviously, was that the year best round ever?
34:54
[SPEAKER_01]: Actually, I had an eighty three outstanding creek, and I had an eighty one at Graveau this summer, internments.
35:03
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, internments.
35:04
[SPEAKER_06]: Wow.
35:04
[SPEAKER_06]: And it's not even just practice rounds, internments.
35:07
[SPEAKER_06]: Wow, that is a great summer.
35:10
[SPEAKER_06]: So the next one is, uh, get nady and then into the seventies.
35:14
[SPEAKER_06]: I know how much you look forward to that.
35:16
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh yeah, me and Rachel, we've been talking about.
35:18
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm just really trying to get, uh, I really want to see the seventies.
35:22
[SPEAKER_06]: So tomorrow.
35:24
[SPEAKER_01]: I won't play nine holes tomorrow, but hopefully.
35:27
[SPEAKER_04]: Hopefully, that's seventies tomorrow.
35:28
[SPEAKER_04]: Hopefully, thirties tomorrow, thirties tomorrow.
35:33
[SPEAKER_06]: So the next one, let's the next big one coach.
35:36
[SPEAKER_06]: The next eighteen hole.
35:37
[SPEAKER_05]: We have our Shenandoah tournament.
35:39
[SPEAKER_05]: I believe coming up next.
35:41
[SPEAKER_05]: And that is played at at tri-killing.
35:44
[SPEAKER_06]: You know that course very well.
35:46
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I put it in the last year and I kind of struggled, but I feel like my game has developed.
35:50
[SPEAKER_01]: I think I'm at a point in my game where I can go on to any course and I'm pretty confident that I can shoot.
35:57
[SPEAKER_06]: and can you tell me about your first round of the season?
36:00
[SPEAKER_02]: I definitely had a few holes, kind of blow up holes, but I mean, I kind of expected that.
36:07
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I kind of go- What was the issue?
36:11
[SPEAKER_02]: Probably mental, definitely.
36:12
[SPEAKER_02]: I kind of go through phases where I kind of get burned out a little bit, where I see I'm not improving, but I think I'm definitely trying to get better at that, and I think I have gotten better at that, and I'm just excited to see how far I can progress.
36:26
[SPEAKER_05]: I'd say a bright spot of her round on Monday was she drove the ball well.
36:33
[SPEAKER_05]: She drove it straight and long at times, and that was a real positive.
36:38
[SPEAKER_05]: And we're working on it.
36:40
[SPEAKER_05]: So the issue is the shorter game with the men of the game.
36:43
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, a little bit of everything.
36:44
[SPEAKER_05]: Some of the approach shots.
36:46
[SPEAKER_05]: We've got to trouble a few times on some approach shots.
36:49
[SPEAKER_05]: Just didn't leave him in the good miss spots.
36:54
[SPEAKER_05]: What I would say.
36:56
[SPEAKER_06]: Coach tell me about this team and in particular where it fits in and the county, the CIC and sexual actually was talking with someone and your team name came up when we were talking about that third spot and so your thoughts on
37:14
[SPEAKER_05]: Well, let's just start with sectional because that would be great if we wound up in that third spot.
37:19
[SPEAKER_05]: We would love that.
37:21
[SPEAKER_05]: That would be a first for our program and that would be a nice, nice feather in the cap for the season.
37:29
[SPEAKER_05]: That would be a great way to move on.
37:32
[SPEAKER_06]: We're going to find out a lot more next Wednesday when you face another one of those teams.
37:35
[SPEAKER_06]: That's a possible third.
37:37
[SPEAKER_06]: Yes, to advance.
37:38
[SPEAKER_05]: Yes, and there's we've got some competition in the county.
37:42
[SPEAKER_05]: Lapelle will be our biggest competition all the time and they have added a couple at least one new player that I know of.
37:50
[SPEAKER_05]: And so they are going to be pretty dog on good.
37:55
[SPEAKER_05]: Do I think that we could catch him on a good day?
37:57
[SPEAKER_05]: I do.
38:00
[SPEAKER_06]: And then, well, obviously, Pendleton's always pretty good.
38:03
[SPEAKER_06]: And then Alexandria is the defending CIC champion.
38:07
[SPEAKER_06]: I assume winning the CIC again is a big thing.
38:11
[SPEAKER_06]: It is.
38:13
[SPEAKER_06]: That's one of our goals.
38:16
[SPEAKER_01]: I especially want to win.
38:17
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm very angry that we did not win last year.
38:22
[SPEAKER_06]: You beat Alexander in most of the year, right?
38:26
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it was my first match and we beat them almost, we beat them around three times as what Mr. Rates is saying.
38:32
[SPEAKER_01]: But it just made me really angry because I feel like I played so good at my team played so good just to see us lose by just so like such little numbers.
38:42
[SPEAKER_06]: Let's talk a little bit about the rest of the teams.
38:44
[SPEAKER_06]: Okay, I'll Eastbrook, you're gonna be seeing them on Friday.
38:49
[SPEAKER_06]: in the conference, of course, Elwood and Alexander also in the county who else should be looking out for player wise coach and team wise in the county and the conference.
39:00
[SPEAKER_05]: Well, I'll tell you what, Chuck Grable is doing a great job with those cows over at the University.
39:06
[SPEAKER_05]: It is.
39:07
[SPEAKER_05]: It's fantastic to see.
39:09
[SPEAKER_05]: They came a long ways last season and I've seen a lot.
39:13
[SPEAKER_05]: They're all out playing.
39:16
[SPEAKER_05]: And so I think that they are going to have a really good showing this year.
39:21
[SPEAKER_05]: I have high hopes for them.
39:25
[SPEAKER_05]: I'm not as high hopes I have for us.
39:27
[SPEAKER_05]: But they are an up-and-coming program.
39:32
[SPEAKER_05]: They've got some rules to watch.
39:34
[SPEAKER_06]: And we've always known that Coach Gravel is a great coach and it's good to see that it's paying them.
39:38
[SPEAKER_05]: Yes.
39:39
[SPEAKER_05]: Absolutely.
39:40
[SPEAKER_05]: Absolutely.
39:41
[SPEAKER_06]: Well, thank you so much ladies and coach.
39:45
[SPEAKER_06]: I really appreciate it.
39:46
[SPEAKER_06]: Kyla, what's the ultimate goal this year for you as an individual?
39:52
[SPEAKER_01]: As individual, I want to get out of sectionals and I want to win CIC.
40:01
[SPEAKER_02]: I just hope that we can meet the expectations of ourselves and this as a team is important.
40:07
[SPEAKER_06]: Okay, but I know you have like some like team goals, right?
40:11
[SPEAKER_02]: Right, we definitely want to win the CIC definitely.
40:16
[SPEAKER_01]: I think as one of the team goals is that if it is possible and we play our A game as sectionals, I think as a team we can get out third, but there's definitely tough competition so we need to keep improving and keep playing.
40:33
[SPEAKER_06]: Thank you so much to Coach Bates and Kyla and Kinsey for joining the Central Indiana Sports Report and of course to Michelle.
40:41
[SPEAKER_06]: She is the best.
