The Northeast Ohio Independent Schools Girls Golf League features four private schools that are independent from any other athletic conferences. The Magnificat Blue Streaks will very likely be the best team in Northeast Ohio while they will face stiff competition from Walsh Jesuit and Hathaway Brown. Laurel will probably be taking a step back after losing an extremely talented senior class that took them to the State Tournament last year. Magnificat senior Cammy Reed looks to take another step as one of the top talents in the area and she will have an extremely strong and deep supporting cast, including fellow senior Maureen O’Leary, junior Kristina Chill, and sophomore Kayla Knaze. Walsh Jesuit has built a strong foundation with the emergence of Yumi Kohara and some freshman talent, specifically Sarah Vojtko, will bolster that even more. Dixon Hill, Hathaway Brown’s superstar player, also looks to have a spectacular senior season as the Blazers will look to build a quality lineup around her. Junior Elizabeth Weingart will take the reigns at Laurel and try to follow in the footsteps of the amazing legacy that her predecessors have left.
