<body><div>BELPRE, Ohio (WTAP) - All five Marietta girls golf players finished inside the top six at sectionals on Tuesday, September 22nd, beating second-place Warren by 38 strokes.Claire Bills said the coaches had the team well prepared heading into the tournament.“Our coaches had us well prepared and we went up there Friday and played a practice round and we looked at the course again Sunday afternoon, just right before go time,” Bills said.Kenadee Strauss said the team excelled together.“Yeah, I feel like we prepared very well, as Claire said, and we really like excelled as a team,” Strauss said. “We put our pieces together and I still feel like we have more to show.”Head coach Sam Bruni said the team has made his job easier this year, describing the group as more like a family than a coach-player relationship.“It definitely is not like work at all,” Bruni said. “You know, sometimes in coaching there can be difficult seasons, you know, and teams that are easier to coach than others. This has been the easiest by far. The attitudes are great. The team chemistry is great. They’re playing really good golf. That makes it a lot better when you’re winning. Everybody kind of gets along a little better, it seems. But it’s been like a big family, honestly. We go on these two hour trips out of town, which we’ve been doing quite a bit lately. And they fly by. The drives are just flying by because everybody’s having fun talking and enjoying each other’s company. And that makes a huge difference. The chemistry has really propelled us.”Jillian Elliott said the team feeds off that chemistry.“I’ve been playing since middle school and so I’ve known all these girls before and we all had a really good dynamic,” Elliott said. “We’re all there to cheer on each other and just everything like that. Like the coaches have been such a great help with us and they’re good at keeping our spirits high, especially in the middle of a round. I’ve known to blow up a little bit, but they’re always there to help me and keep my cool a little bit.”Warren’s Maggie Evans took first overall at sectionals with a 79 in her second high school season.Marietta got the team win, but Warren will still travel with the Tigers to districts at Crystal Springs Golf Course on Monday.Evans said she is looking forward to competing alongside Marietta.“It’s awesome that we get to travel with another team that we know so well like Marietta,” Evans said. “We’ve always kind of done stuff together, so it’s really nice. They’re great people to get to play against. It’s always a really good match and it’ll be a lot of fun.”</div></body>
