The main goal this year is a top-five finish in the 6th Region Tournament.

With a nice mix of talented upperclassmen and young golfers, second-year Highlands Ladybirds head golf coach Cheryl Spahr said it could happen if her top four scorers can consistently shoot below 100 in the 18-hole tournaments. Highlands graduated three seniors from last year in Sarah Steffen, Savannah Phillips and Alexander Padget.
