Freshman Jacqueline Cootes led the Palos Verdes girls golf team to his best round ever with a strong debut.

Cootes shot a 5-over-par 41 at Los Verdes Golf Course on Monday, leading Palos Verdes to a 239-258 nonleague victory over host South Torrance.

Cootes had four pars and five bogeys, and Coach Ray Rivera called Cootes' performance the best debut he's seen from his team in his three years at Palos Verdes.

"I'm impressed," Rivera said. "For a freshman to shoot a 41 in her first high school match, that's pretty good.  Her course management is good. She concentrates, and she doesn't go through the motions."

Ally Wilcox added a 48, and Ashley Merda shot a 49 for Palos Verdes, which also had its lowest total in Rivera's three years.
