St. Francis senior Kayla Stueland showcased solid driving and equally steady iron play to advance with a 77 to the Class AA girls golf state finals this weekend.
Kayla Stueland was not about to be denied in her final campaign.

Yesterday was also the team's senior night, honoring seniors Sarah Skurla, Katie Novosad and Bekah Munday. The Tigers girls golf team will play in the IHSA regionals tomorrow, Wednesday, Oct. 6 at St. Andrews Golf and Country Club in West Chicago.
