Shewey qualifies but Pacers fall short as team

PONCA CITY — — For the first time in coach David Lee’s 17-year tenure, Enid’s girls golfers will not be going to the state tournament as a team.

The Pacers fell just short at the 6A regional at Lew Wentz golf course Tuesday. Enid finished seventh at 372, 12 shots behind Muskogee, which grabbed the sixth and last qualifying spot at 360.

Megan Shewey did qualify as an individual (top six from non-qualifiers) after shooting an 88.

“I’m proud of Megan,’’ said Enid coach David Lee. “She had 15 really good holes and two or three holes where she had a little bit of trouble, but it was good enough to get in.’’

The state tournament will be May 2-3 at Muskogee Country Club.

Morgan Carris just missed qualifying with an 89. She was followed by Kimmy Carris (92), Kayci McClendon (103) and Baylee Roberts (114).

Union won the tournament with a 297, followed by Broken Arrow, 303; Jenks, 331; Broken Arrow, 360; Owasso, 351 and Muskogee, 360.

It was the first time the Roughers had finished ahead of EHS in a tournament this season.

“It’s a different feeling,’’ said Lee about not qualifying. “We improved from the last time we played there, but our nemesis was penalty shots and chipping and putting around the green. That’s where the other teams gained an advantage on us. We wanted to try to keep the ball in play, but unfortunately we didn’t.

“Muskogee just played better than we did today. That’s what good about sports. They brought it today and we struggled and they got us by 12 strokes.’’

Glencoe duo makes strong introduction
The last time Nate Melton and Claytin Beaver played together, they left the field losers of a season-ending 12-5 Class A state quarterfinal.
On Friday, each of them in Enid Majors blue instead of Glencoe red, and things went closer to plan.
Melton was the Majors’ opening-day starter, introducing himself to Enid with six strikeouts in three innings, topping 90 mph with a fastball that rarely ended anywhere but Beaver’s mitt in a 7-1 Majors win.
