Lady Lions Headed to State! Minerva Girls Golf Qualifies for OHSAA Championship

MINERVA, OH — The Minerva Varsity Girls Golf Team is celebrating a historic achievement, as they have qualified for the 2025 OHSAA Girls Division I Golf State Championship! This marks the third time in school history the Lady Lions have earned a trip to the state meet.

The team, coached by Head Girls Coach Kenny Beaumariage, punched its ticket last week by claiming the highly competitive OHSAA Division One East District Title. Their district performance solidified their standing as one of the top programs in the state.

The Lady Lions will compete on Sunday, October 12, and Monday, October 13, at the prestigious Akron Firestone Country Club, taking on the challenging Fazio Course.

"I couldn't be more proud of these girls," said Coach Beaumariage. "They have worked hard all season, and winning the District Title was a tremendous accomplishment. Now, they get to test their skills on one of the most storied golf courses at the OHSAA State Championships."

The Minerva girls are set to tee off early Sunday morning and have been paired with Cincinnati Anderson High School for the opening round of play. The community is encouraged to send their support and congratulations as the Lady Lions pursue a state title.



The Minerva community wishes Coach Beaumariage and the Lady Lions the best of luck at the State Championship!
