Coach Trey Mason updated the Carmi Kiwanis club Thursday on the Carmi-White County boys and girls golf teams’ 2019 seasons. Both golf teams are looking good this school year, and Coach Mason spent time discussing each player and his or her special place on the team.
The girls team has six players and has started the year with a 3-6 record. The team roster includes Senior Allie Gee, Junior Katie Dieg, Sophomores Macey Heil, Elleigh Gray, and Laci Mills, and Freshman Saylor Mason. Coach Mason encourages girls to take interest in the sport because he receives an email every week from colleges asking if he has a female golfer.

Media representative JC Tinsley had questions for the board on Tuesday morning, one which concerned a report of the courthouse server being hacked and someone accessing courthouse files from home. Treasurer Pam Armstrong and the board all said they knew nothing about any hacking. The Treasurer had requested secure access when she was off work due to an injury so she could work from home. Tinsley asked if Homeland Security and the Board of Elections had to be contacted, as he had heard. “That was not true either,” Armstrong and the board answered. Tinsley asked about online financial statements and that he had spoken to the Treasurer about that, to which Armstrong stated,”The statements are in Beth’s office at the end of every month. They can be seen there.”
