MULDROW - Sarah Webb of Muldrow had the best round among the locals on Friday afternoon while taking second place at the Lady Ranger Invitational high school golf tournament.

Playing on her home course at Quail Run, Webb fired an 89 to finish three strokes behind medalist Britny Pittman of Oktaha.

Webb, a defending state qualifier who was coming off a win at the Poteau tournament, shot a 44 on the first nine holes. She finished up with a 45 on the back nine while leading Muldrow to a second-place team finish at the tournament hosted by Roland.

The Lady Bulldogs used a 102 from Heather Honea, a 119 from Terra Earls and a 117 from Katelyn Sparkman to challenge Oktaha for the top spot with a team score of 427.

That was two strokes behind Oktaha, which won the title with a four-player score of 425 and had two of its girls finish in the top-10 overall. Keely Kincade's 94 was good for fourth individually.

Stilwell finished third, Poteau fourth and Roland fifth. Tamara Barnes carded a 96 to pace Roland while teammate Jennifer Riggs finished with a 99. The Lady Rangers also got a 130 from Kyla Barnes and a pair of 131s from Lauren Edwards and Kaeley Gordon.

Sallisaw didn't have enough players to compete as a team, but Shelby Stavely finished sixth individually with a 98. Kristin Sanders (117) and Sarah Phillips (139) also competed for the Lady Diamonds.

Among other Sequoyah Countians at the event, Vian's Casey Sanders amd Cynthia Werts shot a 102 and a 116, respectively, and Muldrow junior high golfer Mallory Matlock shot a 118.

The next tournament in the county will be played on Thursday at Shadow Creek, when Sallisaw hosts its annual Lady Diamond Invitational.

After an experiment that lasted several months, the editors at Your TIMES decided this week to end the practice of allowing anonymous comments on our website because most of the comments involve personal attacks and unfounded accusations. These comments do not add information to a story, or add any true insight. While we believe in the free exchange of ideas, it had become evident that was not what was happening in the comment section of our website. Readers can also become fans of Your TIMES on Facebook and may comment on our postings there. Readers are also encouraged to write letters to the editor to the newspaper about matters of public interest. The newspaper circulation is several times that of the web site, so readership is much higher.
