With the scholastic girls golf season winding down, several local teams have been swinging for league supremacy. At La Jolla Country Day School, the Lady Torreys under head coach Bill Cahoone head into their final week of play with a mark of 7-6 (5-5 Coastal Conference). In action last week, LJCD took on the San Dieguito Academy and La Costa Canyon Varsity “B” team at Encinitas Ranch. The Lady Torreys scored 257, with La Costa scoring 271 and San Dieguito 272. Senior Jennie Kim was match medalist for the first time with a career low of 45, while freshman Kristin Mizutani was next lowest with a 48. On Thursday, the Torreys took on league rival The Bishop’s School at the Del Mar Country Club. Despite losing 230-291, LJCD’s Mizutani led the way for the Lady Torreys with a 48, while junior Brook Mehregany scored a 52. Coastal Conference finals were to be held Wednesday, Oct. 28 at Encinitas Ranch. The league champion receives an automatic berth in CIF play and Coastal Conference all-league selections will be determined at the conference finals. Elsewhere, La Jolla High fell to Our Lady of Peace 241-279 in action last week. La Jolla’s Juliette Garay was low medalist with a 37, while the Lady Vikings also received good play from Alexis Tarakjian (53), Jasmine Graze (55), Maura Kanter (66) and Elyssa Kanter (68). In a 241-276 loss to Point Loma, Garay led the way for La Jolla by shooting a 40. La Jolla also received strong efforts from Tarakjian (53), Jordan Atnip 59, Graze (61) and Kanter (63). La Jolla finished the week with a 236-279 setback to Cathedral Catholic. Garay was the low for La Jolla at 39, followed by Graze (56), Atnip (57), Lauren Coles (60), Nicole Jarvis (67) and Kanter (67). “All in all, we feel we played as good as we can but we still want to finish strong in the last two matches to finish in fourth place,” La Jolla High head coach Allen Merryman remarked. “I think we can do better next season since we will have everyone back, and with hard work, I know we can compete in our league.” In action the previous week, La Jolla was a 272-285 winner over Scripps Ranch, as Garay led the way with a 41. Garay birdied the first and second holes for La Jolla. Finally, The Bishop’s School rolled to a 216-326 victory over West Valley High. Medalist Courtney Hooton led the team with a one-below-par 35, followed closely by Spenser Krut with a 40. Alexa Bisbas and McKenna Meyer also played well, shooting a 41 and 42, respectively.
