ROMELL, GIRLS TEAM ROLL ON TO REGIONALS: Senior golfer Callen Romell secured her third straight regional qualification with a second-place individual finish at the district tournament March 25-26. Originally set to advance on her own, Romell will now have her teammates alongside her after a forfeit by the second-place team allowed the entire McCallum girls varsity golf team to finish second and take their spot.

Romell said the new district alignment added an element of uncertainty heading into the tournament.

“Having a new district, we didn’t really know who we were up against,” she said. “I didn’t exactly know how good the girls in our district were, and after the first day, I was in a pretty good spot. The girls that were in front of me were on the two teams that were already going to qualify.”

Her second-place finish secured her an individual spot at regionals, marking the third time she has advanced past district.

“I went to regionals the last two years, so it would be a bummer if I missed it,” she said. “Now that the whole team is going, it’s gonna be a lot more fun.”

The season hasn’t been without obstacles. Romell has dealt with a hip injury since her sophomore year, which she said worsened midway through the season.

“I had to take some time off midseason because it flared up a lot,” she said. “I had to do PT and rehab, and I didn’t know if I was gonna be OK leading up to district. But I’m happy I made it despite not being 100%.”
Looking ahead to regionals, Romell has been focusing on fine-tuning her game.

“I’ve definitely been going to the range more and have been more intentional with my practices,” she said.

With regionals approaching, Romell said she plans to give her best effort.

“We’re going to regionals knowing we aren’t going to qualify for state, so it’s nice that it’s a low-stakes tournament,” she said. “I just want to go out and not leave anything on the table.”
The Knights varsity girls golf team will look to find their “paradise” and swing into success at regionals on April 15-16 at the Margaritaville Lake Resort Golf Course in Conroe outside Houston.
