Senior places 8th at state finals; team 13th

After placing 50th her sophomore year and 25th her junior year, senior Logan Potts finally placed in the top 10 at the MHSAA girls’ golf state finals, which took place at Forest Akers East Golf Course at Michigan State University (Oct. 18-19).

“Logan’s play during the state finals was up to par,” coach Britni Gielow said. “She had a great mental game during the 36-hole event. That is very important to have during the state finals because the pressure is on. Her long game was great. The course was playing longer, so her ability to hit a longer tee shot helped her score lower.”

Potts said she has been working hard for years to make it to the top 10 in the state finals, and she is happy with the way that she played throughout the tournament.

“I feel like I played great,” said Potts, who helped lead the Sailors to a 13th-place team finish. “I played as well as I could have, and it feels like all of the hard work has paid off.”

Potts’ coach said she is also extremely proud of the way that Potts played at the tournament and her drive as an athlete in general.

“Logan is very competitive,” Gielow said. “She plans to win when she steps on that tee box. She’s a very strong athlete.”

However, Gielow is not just proud of Potts for the way she played, but she is proud of the entire team.

“I’m very proud of the team for going to the state finals,” Gielow said. “It is a special thing to say your team made it to the end. They did a great job for never having played at that level before.”
