At Frankfort: La Salle-Peru junior Allie Thome carded an 89 at the Class 2A Bradley-Bourbonnais Regional on Thursday at Green Garden Country Club to earn an individual sectional berth.

Thome will play in the Normal West Sectional on Monday.

“I’m so excited, because I struggled a lot, but I made some really good putts to save me,” Thome said. “My drives were really off, but when there’s a bad shot, there are other holes to make up for it. I’m really proud of myself and can’t wait to see what I do from here.”

Also for the Cavaliers, Delani Duggan shot a 104 and Sophia Chiu had a 108.
