“It was a good start to the season,” Washington head coach Shannon Bartruff said. “Coach (Derrick) Lyons (McClain girls head coach) did a nice job hosting the event. The course was in great shape, as always. We had three juniors and two sophomores that played today, so it was a good experience. We have four of our top six back from last year’s FAC championship/district qualifier.
