Schools Roundup: Wednesday, May 23

GIRL'S GOLF

Berlin 161, Cheshire 199, New Britain 271

The Berlin Lady Redcoats golf team had its best round of the season Wednesday at Timberlin Golf Course defeating Cheshire and New Britain. Final scores, Berlin 161, Cheshire 199 and New Britain 271. 

Julia Kemmling led the Redcoats to victory shooting a career best even-par 36 on the Timberlin back nine. The even par round, which consisted of nine straight pars, earned Kemmling her 11th medalist honor of the season. Senior Co-Captain Emily Stickel was also a major factor in the teams low score, carding a superb round of two-over par 38. Ashley D'Attilio and Victoria Fagan rounded out the teams total with solid scores of 43 and 44 respectfully.

"What a great job by the girls," Berlin coach Jim Barnes said. "Today I saw a new intensity in the their faces. They know what is ahead over the next two weeks: our rematch against Farmington for the conference title next Wednesday, the CCC Tournament next Thursday and finally the State Tournament on June 5.  It's the most important two weeks of the whole season and the girls know it.

"At this point in the season Julia Kemmling is simply unconscious. She is only four-over par for her last 36 holes of competitive golf. This young lady is so polite and so gracious. She looks like she should be on the cover of a teen magazine, but put a golf club in her hand and she will cut your heart out. I have never seen a kid where the competitive fires burn so brightly. It is something special to watch."

MIDDLE SCHOOL BASEBALL

McGee 7, RHAM 0

The McGee baseball team kept its unbeaten season going, defeating RHAM by a score of 7-0.
