79 golfers across both the Bayside North and South attended the District 8 Match at Queenstown Harbor yesterday. Only 13 golfers scored well enough individually to qualify for the State Tournament. Emily Whitelock was one of those golfers representing Washington High School and Somerset County.

In the history of Washington Golf there have only been 3 golfers to ever qualify for the State Tournament. Zoe Nichols, Hannah Whitelock and now her sister Emily Whitelock.
