MEADVILLE — Cassidy Conn let it be known after Monday’s first round of District 10’s Class 3A girls golf tournament.
That’s when the Fort LeBoeuf sophomore openly voiced her desire to win the 36-hole competition.
A desire that sounded serious and sincere.
Conn held a four-stroke advantage after that round at the Country Club of Meadville. She quenched her emotional thirst for first place by maintaining that margin after Wednesday’s 18-hole finale.
Conn compiled a cumultative stroke total of 172. McDowell’s Bella Deaton was next at 176.
Meadville’s Brooke Hart, second to Conn going into Wednesday, followed at 177.
“I golfed every day to this summer (to prepare) for this,” Conn said. “I didn’t play my best (Monday), but I also knew I led by four strokes. I was hoping that even if I didn’t play my best (Wednesday), I could still keep (Deaton and Hart) off me.”
“They cut close (to tying) a couple times, but I was always able to come back.”
There was additional pressure on Conn to maintain her position atop the district’s 3A girls scoreboard. Only its champion was guaranteed an invitation to the PIAA tournament.
