Our Longhorn golf team was represented well at the 1A Boys State Golf tournament. Mattix Rowden and Beau Cowgill both competed hard in a very tough field of golfers. Mattix Rowden finished 12th overall out of nearly 70 golfers shooting his personal best.

With the state tournaments over, this will bring our golf season to a close. We are very proud of all of our Longhorn golfers and the season that we had. We say good bye to 2 seniors , Meredith Deane for the girls, and Beau Cowgill for the boys. We wish you both the best and thank you for representing our Longhorn Golf team well. We look forward to the future of Longhorn Golf with high expectations.

These practice drills are an important part of ensuring that everyone knows how to respond in the event of an actual emergency.
