Girls golf sectionals kick off

2000-01 tournament schedule

The first of 20 IHSAA tournaments in the 2000-01 school year begins this week with sectional competition in the 28th Annual IHSAA Girls Golf Tournament at 21 sites across the state. Every sectional site is scheduled to play an 18-hole round on Saturday (Sept. 16). In each sectional, the low three teams and the low three individuals from a team that doesn’t advance will qualify for regional competition at seven sites on Sept. 23. The state finals will be contested Sept. 29-30 at the Legends of Indiana in Franklin with 18 holes each day.

In addition to a change of the state finals site, the tournament also has expanded from 18 to 21 sectional sites and from six to seven regional sites. The additional sectional and regional are due to the growth of participating schools over the past several years. The field for the 2000 tournament includes 244 schools, up seven from 1999. The field has grown by 50 schools since 1995.

The low nine teams and any other team within 20 strokes of the lead after the first round on Sept. 29 will return for the second round on Sept. 30. Individually, the low nine players -- excluding any that advance with their team -- and any other players within six strokes of the individual lead after the first round will advance to the second round on Sept. 30.

Martinsville enters as the five-time defending state champion. The Artesians were ranked second behind Center Grove in the most recent poll of the Indiana High School Golf Coaches Association. Noblesville was third, followed by Carmel and Western.
