Left to right: Christy May, Jill Rogers, Coach Norman Waters, Kelli Covey, Stacy Allen, and Kerri Covey—the 1987-88 Lady Indian Golf Squad.

Norman Waters, coach of the ultra successful team, urged the girls to “not give up on even one shot.” And as one can tell, they did not. Senior team member Kelli Covey was fourth in the medalist race total with a 152, while twin Kerri was ranked sixth overall with a 156.

The Lady Indians won four of their five tournaments this season. “Gosh, it (winning) is great. Never in a million years did we think we could repeat,” an overjoyed Kerri covey explained.
