Blue Ridge Girls Golf: Amber Tsevelekos Reunites with "Neighbor," Leads Lady Knights to Victory over Monticello

MONTICELLO, Ill. -- About three miles of countryside space separate Blue Ridge's Amber Tsevelekos and Monticello's Kaza Combs.

"It's like we're neighbors," Tsevelekos said.

The three-mile distance may have been enough to put the two girls golfers in separate school districts. At Monticello Golf Club on Wednesday, however, there were no degrees of separation as Tsevelekos and Combs teed off together.

Tsevelekos shot a 47 while Combs shot a 58. The Sages' Evelyn Brand, who teed off alongside Tsevelekos and Combs, scored a 52.

"I thought I did all right," Tsevelekos said. "It was just one of those days."

Despite expressing some disappointment with her score, Tsevelekos had the best one among all girls golfers, leading Blue Ridge to a 205-245 victory over Monticello.

Kelsey Baker contributed to the Lady Knights' team score by shooting a 50. Megan Tsevelekos and Jacquelyn O'Neal got on the scoreboard with scores of 52 and 56, respectively.

For Monticello, Brand's 52 was the best among the team. Maddy Diniz shot a 68 while Andrea Easton recorded a score of 67.

For Blue Ridge, Melinda Wilson and Alana Strum scored 75 and 79, respectively.
