There was plenty for Genoa-Kingston golfer Emily Wakeley to be nervous about when she headed out to Red Tail Run Golf Course in Decatur, Ill., on Saturday.

She was the first ever G-K girls’ golfer to qualify for the state meet. There was the rain delay that kept her off the course and in the clubhouse. And there was the fact that, as she went from hole to hole, she realized she was playing one of her best rounds of her career in her last meet of her high school career. 

But for whatever reason, Wakeley never seemed nervous to Dirk Campbell, the Cogs athletic director who played the role of coach on Friday and Saturday.
