Powered by four four-year starters, Clovis West High shoots for its fourth consecutive Central Section girls team golf championship today at Tulare Golf Course.
Golden Eagles senior standout Asia Adell will be among the first threesome -- along with Redwood's Christina Trujillo and Stockdale's Abby Marina -- set to tee off at 10 a.m. The final grouping -- Yosemite's Mariana Moberly, Mission Oak's Breanna Haney and Frontier's Lexi Keeter -- tees off at 12:16 p.m.
Adell shot a 3-under par 69 last Monday at Madera Municipal Golf Course as Clovis West won the North Area championship with the best team round on a regulation course in section history at 378. Clovis West had the previous record, a 391 set last year at Madera Muni.
The rest of the Golden Eagles lineup includes four-year starters Morgan Thomas, Jamie Thomas and Alison Ross, and newcomers Alyssa Orito and Camille Orito.
Frontier, which won the South Area Division II title last week with a 395, figures to be Clovis West's toughest challenge. The Titans feature Jordanne Barr, who won the South Area individual title with a 1-over 73 last week at Mifflin-Buena Vista Golf Course in Taft.
Only Clovis West and Frontier shot fewer than 400 strokes during the Area tournaments.
The rest of the field features Redwood (Central Area Division I champion), event host Tulare Western (Central D-I runner-up), Mission Oak (Central D-II champ), Clovis North (North D-I runner-up), Yosemite (North D-II champ), Stockdale (South D-I champ) and Garces (South D-I runner-up).
The top two teams today advance to the Southern California Championship on Nov. 16 at Murrieta, with the top three there reaching the State Championship on Nov. 19 at Poppy Hills Golf Course in Pebble Beach.
