"He has the full package; he has distance, touch, a large variety of shots and he can create things," said Sheldon coach Todd O'Neal, who called Dukeminier the No. 1 golf recruit in Oregon. "He is an unusual kid; he's not selfish whatsoever. He wants to win as bad for the team as he does for himself. A lot of people look at golf as an individual sport, but he makes others better." Little took an entirely different route to Oregon. The two-time Midwestern League district medalist placed second as a freshman (147) and tied for eighth as a sophomore (160) at the OSAA Class 4A girls golf tournament.

In high school, you're lucky to see that kind of competition once or twice a year. `I'm excited to have her come out this spring and show me her stuff. She has already proved that she can hold her own at that level, and she should do great things at Oregon.' Omlid won the Midwestern League district title last year and placed eighth at the 4A tournament. She shot 152 to win the district title by six shots and shot 158 at state.
