CITY SECTION GOLF: G.H. WINS CITY TITLE, ADVANCES TO CIF BIRMINGHAM'S HWANG TAKES INDIVIDUAL CROWN.Byline: Dave Shelburne Staff Writer It was more of the same for the Granada Hills High girls' golf team and Birmingham of Lake Balboa Balboa, town (1990 pop. 2,751), Colón prov., in the former Panama Canal Zone, on the Gulf of Panama. The port for Panama City, Balboa was the administrative headquarters of the Panama Canal Zone. It was also the site of a U.S. navy base (closed 1999). senior Jee Hee Hwang in Wednesday's City Section Championship at Balboa Golf Course. Both successfully defended titles to advance to the Dec. 3 CIF/WSCGA Championship, the closest Southern California Southern California, also colloquially known as SoCal, is the southern portion of the U.S. state of California. Centered on the cities of Los Angeles and San Diego, Southern California is home to nearly 24 million people and is the nation's second most populated region, high school girls' golfers get to a state championship. For Hwang, who now has two individual titles and a team title (Birmingham won the first City girls' championship in 2000) in consecutive years, it was a case of fighting off her own nerves and City Championship veteran Maria Lamela of Carson, who won City in 2000 and finished a stroke behind Hwang last year. ``At the last hole, oh I was so nervous because I was only two up,'' said Hwang, who played in the same group with Lamela. ``I ended up bogeying but it was OK because I won, barely, by one stroke.'' Her 38-39-77 just did hold off the fast-closing Lamela (43-35-78), who has been one of the most successful players in the short history of City Section girls' golf.

He had expected a strong team this season, with almost every player back from last year's championship edition and with the addition of talented junior Lucy Davies. But he was unprepared for what he got Wednesday, when Davies placed third with a career-best 79 and the Highlanders exceeded their 2001 championship total by 95 shots despite facing a stronger field. ``I'm just overwhelmed o·ver·whelm tr.v. o·ver·whelmed, o·ver·whelm·ing, o·ver·whelms 1.

She's only been playing golf a little under two years, and she's got some great potential.'' Season-long Granada Hills leader Alyson Golditch placed sixth overall in her first loss of the year against City Section opposition, and Christina Salazar and Kate Andersen both shot 97 to complete the scoring for the Highlanders, whose 355 total left them 54 strokes ahead of second-place Chatsworth. ``I didn't know I had this good of a team, to be honest,'' Thompson said. ``Breaking 400 I think was a realistic goal for us, but to break it by what we did is just fabulous.'' The best team competition of the day came in the race for second place, where Chatsworth just did hold off Franklin of Los Angeles Los Angeles (lôs ăn`jələs, lŏs, ăn`jəlēz'), city (1990 pop. 3,485,398), seat of Los Angeles co., S Calif.; inc. 1850. for the final CIF/SCGA berth, producing an audible A protected MP3 file format from the Audible.com audio download service.

My coach doesn't know how to add, so when she's adding, she's like, `We lost, we lost.' And I was like, `I'm not sure.' And then we got it, so I'm happy, and we're going to dinner, and she'd better buy.'' Chatsworth coach Gail Lapaz likely was only too happy to treat after freshman Gloria Park (84), Lee (93), Hannah Chong (117) and Rebecca Sun (115) earned the Chancellors their CIF/WSCGA berth. Franklin's Darlene Bognot and Birmingham's Kristine Nakanishi shared fourth at 81, and Monroe of North Hills' Jessica Wright (eighth at 90) and Tricia Ariyasu of Venice (ninth at 92) all had top-10 finishes.
