The Lady Tigers also finished third as a team at the state tournament a year ago, shooting 762. Sonora (702) won and Callisburg (728) placed second. Eve King and Trinady Joslin also return from Rockdale’s state team last year. King, a junior, played at state her freshman year.

This marks Rockdale’s fourth straight appearance at state. They have placed third each of the last two years, after a ninth-place finish in 2015.

King has moved up to the No. 2 spot and she is making her third state tournament appearance. Joslin, a senior who is headed to the University of Texas, earned Elite Academic All-state status. She has been at state golf twice.

The two sophomores — Payton Miller and Whitley Boyd — are making their first state appearances. Boyd was at the regional tournament competing individually in 2017. Miller joined the team at regionals this year. She competes in six varsity sports.
