A pair of Pecos Eagle junior high golfers won the medallist titles this
past weekend after the final round of the five-round area tournament, while
Pecos' two teams placed third overall in their divisions.
Mikey Nichols and Shelly Martinez took first place honors in the individual
competition, after the final round of the tournament was held on Saturday
at the Winkler County Golf Course in Kermit. Martinez tied for second over
the final nine holes of the tournament with a 48, one stroke behind Monahans'
Allison Jordan, but overall beat out Jordan for medallists honors by four
strokes over 45 holes of play, shooting a 247 to Jordan's 251.
