The Grand Rapids Forest Hills Central girls golf team entered the postseason ranked No. 1 in Lower Peninsula Division 2 by the state coaches association, expected to win its first MHSAA Finals championship in this sport.
Making good on those expectations can be a much taller task. But the Rangers showed they were more than up for the challenge Oct. 16-17 at Michigan State's Forest Akers West.
The Jet's Pizza "Team of the Month" for October carded a two-day, 36-hole score of 642, clearing the rest of the field by 45 strokes. That score ranked as the second lowest in MHSAA history at an LPD2 Final, and its 319 on Saturday tied for fourth lowest in LPD2 Finals history for a single round.
Junior Alivia Offer was the individual medalist with 149 strokes, six better than the next closest competitor. Freshman Abigail Offer placed seventh, junior Camille Tierney tied for ninth, senior Caroline Vandervelde tied for 13th and junior Gienna Rinckey tied for 23rd.

Performance of the Week: Muskegon Reeths-Puffer's Paige Anderson
October 5, 2023
Paige Anderson ♦ Muskegon Reeths-Puffer
Senior ♦ Golf
Anderson carded a personal-best 4-under 69 at Oak Ridge Golf Club in Muskegon to finish as medalist at last week's Greater Muskegon Athletic Association championship tournament and also lead Reeths-Puffer to the team title with a 353, three strokes lower than Whitehall.
An individual qualifier for the Lower Peninsula Division 2 Finals the last two seasons, Anderson also has been part of some memorable team accomplishments this fall as Reeths-Puffer won its first Ottawa-Kent Conference Green jamboree in five years. The Rockets capped their league run Wednesday with the O-K Green Tournament title, guaranteeing them a shared league title with Mona Shores, and Anderson carded a 72 to win the individual championship. She'll lead her team into its LPD2 Regional on Oct. 13 at Muskegon's Lincoln Golf Club.
