In its first year, Keppel girls varsity golf wins CIF berths, Almont League championship

After more than a decade without a girls golf team, Mark Keppel High School’s varsity team was ready to show off their impressive skills this year.

Under the leadership of first-year coaches Daniel Mattey and Eric Yee, not only did the team have an undefeated inaugural season with a 10-0 record, they were crowned Almont League champions, the team advanced to CIF, and captain of the team, sophomore Precilla Tea advanced to CIF as an individual.

The team’s six starting players, in alphabetical order, were Hannah Hou, Sherine Jiang, Hannah Ng, Kathleen Ng, Precilla Tea, and Xinyi Xue. Pearl Lau, Nikki Ly, and Gabrielle Jade Wong rounded out the rest of the team.

Precilla Tea, the team’s captain, is grateful for her teammates and the many others who helped her and the team achieve at high levels this year. ”I’m so proud of everything our golf team has accomplished this season, especially with it being our first year,” she said. “I’m very grateful for the coaches and families who were able to make this season possible and I’m excited to continue improving and practicing with the team in the upcoming years.”

The roaring start of the debut Keppel girls varsity golf team will likely inspire more MKHS students to join the team. Congratulations to this year's Almont League Champions!

The MKHS girls golf team had a phenomenal inaugural year. We can’t wait to see what they will accomplish next season.
