In a spirit-filled atmosphere, the city of Alamo Heights recently celebrated the remarkable achievement of its girls golf team as they clinched their third straight UIL Class 5A state championship. This extraordinary feat wasn’t just any victory, and it was marked by stunning performances and an outpouring of emotion.

A Farewell to High School Golf

As senior Abbey Anderson made her way towards the 18th green, she couldn’t help but reflect on her golf journey. The tension of the moment built up as she completed her final round, leading to an emotional release as she was embraced by her mother. Abbey was not just playing for herself; she was playing for her beloved team, the Alamo Heights Mules, and they had just achieved another thrilling victory.

Starting the tournament with an impressive nine-shot lead after the first round, the Mules showcased their remarkable skills and unmatched teamwork. By the end of the competition, they celebrated an astounding 20-stroke victory, capping off the tournament with a second round score of 288. Their combined score of 589 not only secured the win but also shattered the previous Class 5A record of 600 set by Austin Anderson in 2022.

Record-Breaking Performances

Abbey was not alone in making records this time around. The young athletes set two new tournament records: a total score of 589 and a second-round score of 288, which broke Abbey’s own record of 295 from the previous year. Talk about a legacy!

Spotlight on Standout Players

The Mules were led by freshman sensation Michelle Lee, who emerged as the top finisher for the team with a stellar two-round total of 143, earning her a bronze medal. Three strokes behind her were Addie Surber and Megan Lee, who tied for first place with scores of 140, ultimately leading to an exciting playoff where Surber took home the top honors.

The emotional bonds within the team were clear, as the players reflected on their experiences together. Lindsay Lee expressed immense pride in finishing her high school career with such a talented group, while Sandoval noted the abundant love and support that fuels their success.
