ALL-STATE GAMES START: BHS golfer helps leads East to win
For one final time, Lisa Brown strolled into a golf tournament representing Bartlesville High School.
The recent Lady Bruin graduate teed up in the Oklahoma Coaches Association All-State links tournament and helped the East Girls knock off the West Girls.
Brown and her partner Brianna Maddox (Owasso) lost in their two-girl head-to-head match play competition, 2.5 and 1.5.
But, those 1.5 points expanded the East total to 14.5 to outscore the East (9.5) by five points. The official score was East 25, West 23.
Brown finished off her career with the Bartlesville girls golf team by finishing ninth in the Class 6A state meet. Finishing in the Top 10 earned Brown All-State recognition.
