Oasis roundup: Regionals season opens with girls golf

The Oasis Academy girls golf team capped the regular season and competed in the Class 2A West League Girls Golf Tournament on Wednesday at the Toiyabe Golf Club in Washoe Valley.

Results are available online and will appear in next week’s print edition.

The top-three teams and top-six individuals from non-qualifying teams in the tournament will advance to next week’s state tournament. The best four scores count toward the team score from the one-day, 18-hole event at the course north of Carson City.

This year’s state tournament is at the Ruby View Golf Course in Elko on Oct. 16 and 17.

This year’s team is coached by Dave Halloran and includes players Victoria Hopkins, Emma Papada, Olivia Kutansky, Meirra Cavanaugh, Stevie Hiskett, Nicole Hopkins and Bailey Beebe.
