It’s official: The Healdsburg High girls golf team won the 2024 NBL Redwood division pennant, going undefeated in match play matches.
Senior and league MVP Tehya Mitchell led the Hounds this season. She was medalist in all 12 matches she played in, averaging just one stroke over par this season. “I believe she is a four-time MVP, and easily the best high school golfer ever to attend Healdsburg,” said the team’s coach, Martin Kiff. “She will be a great college golfer.”
Sophomore Siena Yeilding and freshman Amber Dhiman were named to the NBL Redwood division first team. Sophomores Zella Santana and Roisin O’Herlihy also contributed greatly to the season’s winning scores. Junior Lucy Behrens and senior Lola Hagen, too, posted reliable scores for the Hounds, keeping the team at the top of the division all season.
The season concluded Oct. 28 at Rooster Run Golf Club in Petaluma with the NCS Championships, where Healdsburg finished eighth out of 16 teams.
“The Men’s and Women’s golf clubs and the staff at Healdsburg Golf Course at Tayman Park were supportive in every way possible,” Kiff said. “From donations to lessons and free use of the top-notch facilities, the Girls golf team shares our championship with all involved.”
