Two Coppell teams (Red-336--3rd & White-370--5th) participated in the Fossil Ridge HS tournament at Fossil Creek GC on Tues. 11/15. Junior Alex Garcia led the "A" team with 79 (tied 4th) and Frank Gerome was low for the "B" team with 84 (top 10). Also participating for the Cowboys in this event were: "A" team--Wesley Vohs, Jacob Hunter, & Kevin Dunham  >>> "B" team--Sumner Little, Elton Yang, & Travis Underwood. This was the final tournament of the fall 2011 season. 

Gusty winds at the start of the day played havoc with most of the early scoring in the "Fast Freddy" Classic at Las Colinas CC. Senior Austin Ansley was a prime example of this rocky start, as he was 6 over par after just a few holes. He, however, played the remainder of the round 1 over par to lead the Cowboys with a score of 78 (top 10 placing). He was followed closely by Eric VerDuin-Albert Lo (80's) and Landon Moody-Daniel Dickens (83's). That gave CHS a 321 total, which was tied with tournament host Flower Mound HS (Silver team). Therefore, the 5th player score would be the tiebreaker. Cowboys (83) beat the Jaguars (86) and Coppell secured 2nd place. Also participating in this event was Sr. Payne Spudic. Congratulations to these players on their Runner-up performance and fine showing. 

Balanced scoring (83, 85, 85, 87, 88, 88) allowed the JV/FR. boys team to finish in 2nd place (just 3 strokes behind first place Jesuit) in the Creekview HS tournament at Indian Creek GC on Tuesday 11/8. David Dickens tied for 3rd, but lost a scorecard playoff, while Elton Yang & Collin Horner (85's) finished in the top 10. Other participants for CHS were: Joey Howerton, Matt Little, & Brycen Kettler. This event was the final JV tournament of the 2011 fall season. Congratulations to all the JV/FR. players for such great performances this fall.

With very cold conditions both days and a strong north wind on Day 2, two freshman girls, Sol Lee (89-80 = 169--5th place) and Payton Cupstid (96-94 =190) led the Varsity 2/JV team (398-385 = 783) to a 5th place finish overall. Playing in a 2-day event and having competition against schools that brought their Varsity 1 teams was great experience for these young ladies. They were actually the lowest scoring Varsity 2/JV team in the tournament. This was the final event of the fall 2011 season.
Other FR./SOPH participants for the CHS Cowgirls were: Ashley Kim, Ava Robicheaux, Lexi Scutari, and Leslie McCord.  

The Varsity Boys team of {Albert Lo (2nd-78--won playoff), Eric Ver Duin (top 10-81), Landon Moody (top 12-82), and Wesley Vohs (84)} won the Richland Invitational at Fossil Creek GC with 325. Senior Payne Spudic (3rd-78--lost playoff), playing as a medalist, tied Albert, but lost the playoff on the first extra hole. Senior Austin Ansley also participated for CHS in this event. Congratulations to these young men on a good performance and winning the tournament. 

The Varsity boys team shot 314-320 = 634 to finish in 9th place out of 24 teams in the Denton Guyer tournament at Robson Ranch. Senior Kevin Dunham (77-78 = 155) led the scoring for CHS, followed closely by Alex Garcia (75-85 =160), Jacob Hunter (81-79 =161), and Wesley Vohs (80-82 =162).

The Varsity girls team set a new school record of 306 on Day 1 of the Mansfield Invitational with the following scores: (Chaithra Katamneni--72, Tiffany Breitenwischer--73, Taylor Icenberger--76, and Hannah Jiao--85). Their two-day total of 625 was also a new school record, with Lexi Kearney contributing on Day 2 by shooting 80. The team was disappointed with their tie for 5th place finish (306-319 = 625) after being in 3rd place on Day 1, but the field was highly competitive (4 past State Champion schools and 5 other State Qualifier teams). Therefore, their overall performance was extremely impressive. They competed in the top pairing on Day 2 and gained valuable experience on how to handle this situation. Freshman Chaithra Katamneni (72-71=143) tied for 4th place individually and received a plaque for being in the Top 10 scores. The future looks bright for the CHS COWGIRLS as no seniors played in this event. Congratulations to all of these young ladies on a fine performance in such a competitive field of teams (tied 5th out of 20--just 2 strokes from 3rd place). 

Windy, wet, & cold conditions for the Creekview HS tournament proved too much to handle for most of the players in the field. Only one player broke 80 (a 79) so the scoring was higher than usual. The Cowboy JV team finished in 4th place out of 14 teams with a score of 364. Collin Horner & Matt Little led the way for CHS, shooting 87's, as they tied for 6th place. The final JV event of the fall season will be in 3 weeks, another tournament hosted by Creekview HS at Indian Creek GC.

The JV girls team of Lexi Scutari (80-4th place), Ashley Kim (81-5th place), Ava Robicheaux (82-6th place), and Leslie McCord (87-top 10) finished in 2nd place with a 330 total in the Flower Mound tournament at Lake Park Executive course.
Congratulations to these girls on a great showing and balanced scoring in this event.

The Coppell JV boys team wanted to continue their tradition of winning the Ryan Raider Invitational at Oakmont CC in Denton. By having the top 3 medalists--Sumner Little (78-1st), Collin Horner (79-2nd), Travis Underwood (83-3rd) the Cowboys dominated the final standings and finished in 1st place with 327. Tanner McCord and David Dickens also participated in this event and placed in the top 10. Congratulations on another fine performance by the Jr. Varsity team and winning their 4th tournament of the fall 2011 season. Keep up the excellent work!! 

Jacob Hunter (73)-1st place and Eric Ver Duin (75)-2nd place led the Cowboys Varsity I (308) & II (314) teams to 1st & 3rd place finishes in the Wichita Falls Invitational at Fossil Creek GC on Tues. Sept. 27. Also placing well in this event were the following players: Albert Lo (76)-tied 3rd, Daniel Dickens (78)-top 10, with Landon Moody--Kevin Dunham--Frank Gerome (all shooting 79)--also top 10, and Austin Ansley & Alex Garcia placing in the top 15. Congratulations to all of these young men for such a great showing on the golf course that was voted to be the District site in the spring.

The Coppell Cowgirls Varsity I & II teams finished 1st (321) and 2nd (339) in the Oakmont tournament on Mon. Sept. 26.

Payton Cupstid placed in the top 15. Congratulations to all these young ladies for having won all of their Varsity tournaments this fall. 

Balanced scoring with 4 players shooting in the 70's (Joey Howerton 74-1st place--won scorecard playoff, David Dickens 74-2nd place, Collin Horner 78-4rd place, and Brycen Kettler 79-tie for 5th place) was a key factor for the Cowboys to win over the host school Flower Mound in their JV Invitational at Lake Park. Also participating in this event were: Matt Little and Dallas Dotson. Congratulations to all of these players on winning this event.

The Varsity girls team was down by 14 stokes to the always tough Highland Park team after round 1. Therefore, a huge rally effort would be needed to comeback and win the Creekview tournament over the Lady Scots. With balanced scoring and a determination to overcome their deficit, the girls made up more than the 14 strokes and won the event. Freshman Chaithra Katamneni led the attack with 80-81 (2nd place medalist) followed closely by Taylor Icenberger (82-84/won scorecard playoff) & Tiffany Breitenwischer (85-81), as both shot 166 to tie for 5th place medalist. Also participating in the tournament for the Cowgirls were the following: Aja Zarrehparvar, Hannah Jiao, Lexi Kearney, Sol Lee, Payton Cupstid, Ashley Kim, and Ava Robicheaux.  Congratulations to all of these ladies on an execellent finish and coming back to win the tournament.

Tiffany Breitenwischer (80-3rd place), Taylor Icenberger (85-top 10), & Aja Zarrehparvar (90) also contributed to the team total of (327).

Also participating for Coppell were Tanner McCord and Matt Little. Congratulations to all of these players on a great finish.   

Day 1 of the Red Raider Classic was played at Shadow Hills CC and the Varsity boys shot 1-under par (287) as a team and broke the existing school record. Soph-Eric Ver Duin led the way with an awesome 68, followed closely by Juniors--Daniel Dickens 70, Landon Moody 74, and Albert Lo 75. Even though this was a great score, the Cowboys were in 3rd place behind SL Carroll's 280 and the 282 shot by Frenship HS. Day 2 proved to be a challenge on the TTU Rawls Course as the Cowboys (Albert 71, Daniel 75, Landon 75, and Eric 77 = 298) Highland Park (293), and the SL Dragons (289) were the only teams to break 300. Therefore, the Coppell Cowboys made up 6 strokes on Frenship and edged them by 1 stroke to pick up the 2nd place trophy. Congratulations to this group as their 2-day total of 585 also broke the school record.
