After going 2-0 against The Bishop’s School this season and winning by an average of 32 strokes per match, Francis Parker came into its recent match with the Lady Knights as the 2009 Coastal League champions.  However, the first tournament of the CIF championships took place recently, with the action used to select the individual players who would be attending the San Diego CIF championships. Although the tournament is an 18-hole tournament, the first nine holes count as a regular match, where Francis Parker won by two strokes.  Reminiscent of last year’s nail-biting finish, Courtney Hooton and Spenser Krut stepped up to the challenge to take first and second place in the 35-girl field with scores of 70 and 76, respectively.  Considering that there almost wasn’t a season this year, due to not having enough players, this was another amazing year for Bishop’s. The official season ended recently with an impressive 9-3 record.  Krut led the team with a 35 to smash its prior season best score by nine strokes, helping lead Bishop’s to a 208-270 win over La Jolla Country Day School. Hooton came in with a 37, McKenna Meyer 41, Alexa Bisbas 42, Monica Kim 52 and Alicia Cabrera 73.  Meyer’s play has improved consistently with each match, culminating in her taking the medalist honors in a recent match against Canyon Crest Academy with a 41. On another note, Hooton was invited to compete in the AJGA/Polo Invitational in Palm Beach Gardens Nov. 21 to 27. This tournament will host most of the 75 top junior golfers in the world.    Elsewhere, La Jolla Country Day (LJCD) School headed into the last week of regular season play with a record of 7-6 and a Coastal League record of 5-5. The Lady Torreys played league champion Francis Parker recently, falling 224-295. Freshman Kristen Mizutani (44) was the low LJCD scorer, and senior Jennie Kim (54) was second lowest.  In action the next day in a loss to Bishop’s, LJCD was led by Mizutani, who posted a 41, and sophomore Natasha Moss, who turned in her season low of 55. At the Coastal League meet, LJCD was led by Moss (55), sophomore Alex Levine (63) and junior Frances Kim (58). In 18-hole action with the potential of securing a spot in CIF individual play, Mizutani (91), junior Brook Mehregany (96) and Jennie Kim (100) scored for the Lady Torreys.  LJCD had two players earn all-league second team honors this year, Mizutani and Jennie Kim. “Overall, the season was a great success,” LJCD head coach Bill Cahoone noted. “The team shot its lowest team score ever with a 241, six individuals established career low individual scores and we are expecting at least one individual to qualify for CIF individual play to be contested at Warner Springs Golf Course on Tuesday (Nov. 10). With only one graduating senior, the future looks promising for the Lady Torreys.” Finally, La Jolla High, under head coach Allen Merryman, finished the season recently with a 9-7 overall mark, 5-6 in league play. La Jolla recently scored a 276-323 victory over University City High, as low medalist Juliette Garay led the way with a 41 and Alexis Tarakjian shot a 49. In a 252-282 loss to Coronado, La Jolla was led by Tarakijian with a 48, Jasmine Graze 57 and Jordan Atnip 58.
