2024 girls golf All-GPC team

Graphic Printing Company Player of the Year:

Delaney Dodd: Wapahani High School senior

Delaney Dodd was selected as the inaugural Graphic Printing Company Player of the Year for girls golf.

“It’s pretty crazy,” she said. “If you’d have told me freshman year that this would happen, I probably wouldn’t have believed you. …

“I just worked really hard. Junior year wasn’t good, and I knew I didn’t want to have that for my senior season. So I just worked a lot in the offseason, and confidence just coming from everyone that believed in me. And I just had to believe in myself.”

Dodd led a Wapahani squad that earned its first sectional championship as well as the Mid-Eastern Conference and Delaware County Athletic Association championships. The Raiders also won their first 16 dual matches this year.

She led all golfers in The Graphic Printing Company’s coverage area by a three-stroke margin for nine-hole rounds with a 41.1 average.

“This year it’s been consistency from day one,” said Wapahani coach Brad Miller. “I don’t think there’s been a time, maybe one time, where she was off and that was it. Over the last couple years, she’s shown signs of being elite with too many set backs. This year it was pedal to the medal, high scoring, here we go.”

All-Graphic Printing Company first team:

Kenzie Brannon - Wapahani junior:

Second to only Dodd in scoring average (44.4), Brannon was especially good in 18-hole rounds. She proved that Saturday in shooting 3-over-par to win the sectional.

Alyssa Cole - Winchester senior:

Cole earned a regional berth with a 6-over-par 78 at the sectional tournament. Averaging a 45.5, she also helped power the Golden Falcons to the county championship.

Olivia Knapke - Fort Recovery junior:

Averaging 47.5 for nine holes, Knapke led a team inspired by former coach Joe Bruns as it won its first Midwest Athletic Conference championship. 

Maddy Snow - Jay County senior:

Snow was the Patriots’ scoring leader with a 48-stroke average for nine holes. She shot 87 in the sectional tournament to earn a regional berth.
