2014 Mid-America Junior Cup Set for Weekend at Fox Run GC
Fox Run GC will host the 2014 Mid-America Junior Cup Matches this weekend. The matches feature 16 of the top juniors from the St. Louis and Kansas City regions, 8 (4 boys/4 girls) on each squad. The Junior Cup matches were started in an effort to bring the two associations (MAGA and Kansas City GA (KCGA)) together in a collaborative competition. The main goal behind this collaboration was to foster camaraderie between the top juniors in each respective region.
The KCGA currently holds the cup after winning last year at Blue Hills CC in Kansas City. This will be the 16th playing of the matches, MAGA holds a 9-5-1 record over KCGA in the history of the matches.
The format of the matches is the unique opportunity for these juniors. Saturday they will play Four-Ball Match Play and Sunday Foursomes (Alternate Shot). This years teams are made up as follows:
MAGA
Girls: Abby Schroeder, Logan Otter, Momo Kikuchi, Madison DeRousse
Boys: Frankie Thomas, Chris Ferris, Crimson Callahan, Colin Stolze
KCGA
Girls: Taylor Black, Jean Tyrell, Olivia Laub, India Gaume
Boys: Preston Fleenor, Eric Pahls, Trystan Tovkach, Nicholas Klock
The public is welcome to attend and see some of the best juniors from each region represent their respective associations and hometowns!
