Malta Golfers Get Good Experience at the Class B State Meet

"I'm super proud of our kids," Malta Head Coach Kate Webb said. "They did such a great job. We had a lot of new kids out and some returning but with our gap year, last year, it was awesome to see kids come back, love what they are doing, and put a lot into it this year."
