The Trooper Golf team has certainly made a name for themselves around the great state of Texas. For the second consecutive year the Lady Trooper Golf Team earned a spot at state.
The 2010 Lady Trooper Golf Team was led by Alexia Heist, Laura Barron, Amber Herrera, Aries Ramirez and Dell Blair. The Lady Troopers finished fourth at state and represented not only Eastwood High School but also the city of El Paso very well. Alexia Heist, one of the Eastwood High School standouts, finished the day at state 115 (75-40) and finished 15th overall. Alexia was the region one champion.
Heist said ” I thought I could have done a lot better than what I did at state, but I did my best and that’s all I could.”
All the Lady Troopers said that the main key to their success was that they played poised and had fun doing it.
“We are very close as a team, our chemistry is great, most teammates just see each other at practice and stuff but we go to lunch with each other and hang out on the weekend.”
When asked if there’s a state championship in the near future for the Lady Troopers, Coach Stovall commented that ” I don’t like to make predictions on stuff like that, to get to state in the first place is really tough, you have to play near perfect at regional’s.”
The Lady Troopers will return their whole golf team next season, which definitely brings up talk of another successful year. The key to the Lady Trooper success was the team bond they have.
Amber Herrera said that, “[the bond] kept us together at state, when we were waiting in the storm delay we bonded together, gathered our composure and shook off our rough start the day before.”
The Lady Troopers finished #1 in the city and claimed a district championship title and finished second place at the region one tournament. With the whole team returning next season, expectations are set high for the Lady Troopers in 2011. A state championship is definitely possible.
