LUBBOCK - The Abilene High girls golf team is in position to make its first-ever appearance at the Class 5A state tournament in Austin.

The Lady Eagles fired a 334 Monday during the first round of the Region I-5A tournament at Reese Air Force Base, good enough for second place just two strokes behind San Angelo Central. AHS leads third-place Amarillo High by five strokes going into today's final round.
