Macy Jorgensen is your 2026 Class C Girls State Golf Champion!
Day 1 - 71
Day 2 - 72
Total - 143
Macy was able to capture the individual gold medal in all 14 of her tournaments this fall. She took home SWC, district, and state championships!
She broke our 9-hole record with a 31. She broke our 18-hole record with a 67. She tied our 36-hole record with a 143 at state and now shares that record with KayLynn.
Macy is now our third girls state golf champion in a row. KayLynn won in 2025, and Kara won in 2024. Minden is sitting in 2nd place for most individual state champions in Nebraska girls state golf history with 7 champs.
Macy is a remarkable golfer and a humble human being. We are so proud of her growth, leadership, and success. We can't wait to see what she will do in future seasons.
Congrats, Macy! Very few athletes have achieved what you did this season. You are special. Take time to relax and celebrate...even though we all know you will be back on the course by the weekend.

The FFA chapter will be hosting a Career Day this year on Nov. 12th at MHS. This year, they are opening up the opportunity for businesses and organizations in the community to set up a job recruiting table. This will allow local businesses to network with students about career opportunities at their company. The FFA is also looking for community members who are interested in presenting to students about their careers. Some example presenters would be in the area of psychology, web design, forensic science, and CAD design, but others are appreciated as well!
