The Switzerland County Lady Pacer varsity girls golf team has been making history all season long — and that streak continued last Saturday, September 16th, with a second place finish in the Madison Sectional.
The team finish earns Coach Natalie Wheeler’s Lady Pacer linksters a spot in this Saturday’s golf Regional, which will be held at The Legends Golf Course in Franklin, Indiana.

Scottsburg finished third with 430; followed by Jennings County with 461; Charlestown with 462; Lawrenceburg with 474; and Southwestern with 534.
Other schools participated, but did not have enough players to record a team score.
