THOUGHTS FROM COACH PARKER
"So proud of the gals.  This is the first time we have counted four scores in the 70's and a great sign of wonderful things to come.  Shout out to Madelyn for her personal best two under 70.  She played rock solid and showed great leadership out there.  Division I transfer Nikki got off to a rough start and brought it back to card a three over 75 in her first round. Elizabeth birdied her last hole for a 77 on Monday.  1 Thessalonians 5: 16-17 says "Always be joyful.  Never stop praying."  I have such a joyful group of 11 ladies this year and they are walking the walk!  They pray about everything and are a light to all on and off of the golf course.  #Blessed!"

NEXT UP
The Firestorm will be right back in action on Monday as they compete in the Sundance Invitational in Buckeye, AZ.

Roll Storm!
