Castle, Gibson Southern punch ticket to IHSAA girls golf state finals

MONTGOMERY, Ind. (WFIE) – The IHSAA girls golf regionals happened this weekend around Indiana, and the Castle Knights were a heavy favorite to make its third straight trip to state at Country Oaks Golf Course near Washington on Saturday.

When the day ended, the Knights did exactly that in dominating fashion, shooting 296 to punch their ticket to the state finals. Gibson Southern also played well enough to earn its second trip to state in the last four years, besting Jasper by just one stroke in a fifth-player tiebreaker.

Jasper’s Emma Ruxer will go to state as an individual without an entire team, while Trinity Dubbs from South Knox also moves on to the state finals as an individual.

The state finals will be held at Prairie View Golf Club in Carmel on September 30 and October 1.
