Milford girls’ golf coach Sandy Garrison said it was “pretty cool” that the Eagles took claim to their first-ever Fort Ancient Valley Conference title Tuesday.

 

Milford won the FAVC girls’ golf league tournament at Fairfield with a score of 381.

 

It marked the first league title for the school’s girls’ golf program and the first varsity FAVC title for the school. It is also the first in the FAVC Buckeye Division.

 

“I’m so proud of our kids and coaches,” Milford athletic director Mark Trout said. “This is something definitely to be excited about.”

 

Milford just added a junior varsity squad last season and Trout said Garrison, who was named FAVC coach of the year, has done a good job with the program sustaining interest.

“Coach Garrison has done an excellent job,” Trout said.

 

Milford senior Audra Wade led Milford with a 90 on Tuesday and was third overall.

 

“She has been a good leader,” Garrison said.

 

Jennifer Trame (95), Sydney Anderson (97) and Kelsee Muldoon (99) also helped the Eagles and were named first-team all-league.

 

Garrison said the team set goals of being in the top three in the league but said about a week ago, they knew they had a realistic opportunity.

 

“For me, I knew we could compete,” Garrison said.

 

Milford plays Glen Este Wednesday and has several matches this week and next before the sectional tournament.
