St. Joseph’s posted a 36-hole team score<br />
of 627 in the two-day tournament played<br />
at Swope Park Golf Course in Kansas City.<br />
Finishing second again this year behind St.<br />
Joseph’s was Kansas City’s Notre Dame<br />
de Sion, who came in four strokes off the<br />
Angels’ pace with a 631.<br />
It was the eighth state championship<br />
overall for St. Joseph’s. Coach Carol Fromuth<br />
said she was proud of her team.<br />
“They were all very determined. That’s<br />
all they thought about was to be ready for<br />
state and win it,” Fromuth said. “I knew<br />
they could do it. We all did, but it comes<br />
down to playing. We had the talent to do<br />
it. We had to accomplish it and we were<br />
lucky to do so.<br />
“This was their goal all season – to threepeat<br />
at state. They were under pressure. It’s<br />
harder to win when you’re favored, I think.<br />
On paper is different from performance on<br />
the golf course. The girls had to go out and<br />
get it done.”<br />
All five St. Joseph’s players finished<br />
in the top 12. Girls who finished in the<br />
top 15 individually are awarded all-state<br />
medals. So every Angel became an allstate<br />
golfer.<br />
The finish was remarkable. It marked the<br />
first time, in girls or boys state play that<br />
the score of an all-state medalist was not<br />
used in the team score. A state team consists<br />
of five players and the top four scores<br />
are counted.<br />
“They told me that’s the first time it’s<br />
ever happened in boys or girls state tournaments,”<br />
Fromuth said. “They all did a great<br />
job. We’re deep. Any of them could be the<br />
low scorer in a tournament. We have a lot<br />
of versatility. They were well prepared for<br />
tournament golf.”<br />
Junior Grace Aromando led the Angels<br />
with a 153 over the 36 holes of play. She<br />
finished in a tie for fifth overall. Sophomore<br />
Nicole Rallo was a stroke back in<br />
sixth place with a 156. Senior Lauren Gallagher<br />
tied for ninth with a 160. Freshman<br />
Mia Rallo claimed <strong>11</strong>th place with a score<br />
of 161. Sophomore Drew Nienhaus shot a<br />
162 to finish in a tie for 12th.<br />

The MICDS Rams finished third in the<br />
Class 1 state girls golf tournament and<br />
junior Parker Perry came in third overall.<br />
“This season marked the sixth year in a<br />
row of taking a team to state,” coach Steve<br />
Johnston said. “Don’t know the record<br />
books at MICDS, but [I] have to believe<br />
our streak of six years in a row has to be a<br />
school record.”<br />
This fall, the Rams were put back in<br />
Class 1 by the Missouri State High School<br />
Activities Association. MICDS has played<br />
in Class 2 for the past two years.<br />
