5-Star Gardner Earns ANOTHER 2nd Team Selection

Posted on

Another week, another All-Area Selection for Taylor “5-Star” Gardner.

In the least surprising bit of news of the week, News4Jax released their Girls Hoops 1st and 2nd Team selections, with Taylor, once again, earning the highest ranking of any girl in St Johns County by making the 2nd Team. Her wonderful teammates Maddie Lippy and Emily McIntosh earned Honorable Mention nods to accompany Taylor in the rankings.

It is clear from both the DuvalSports and News4Jax All Area Selections that rival coaches and area scouts view Taylor as the highest ranked prospect coming out of St Johns County this year. Unfortunately, Taylor was not able to capture the hearts of the St Augustine Record and earn St Johns County Player of the Year. We all know Taylor will put her head down and put in the work needed to help her team win, so we can only hope she gets the recognition she deserves in her Senior Season.

Posted on

Good afternoon,

My name is Steven McNickle and I’m excited about the opportunity to be the Girls golf coach this upcoming season.Ā  I look forward to meeting everyone soon.Ā 

Here’s a little about me and my coaching philosophy:

For the past 4 years, I’ve been coaching theĀ middle school golf teams at Patriot oaks and Valley Ridge which coveredĀ all skillĀ levels.Ā  Personally, I’ve been an avid golfer for many years and played all over the US & Europe.Ā  I’ve gone through several coaching clinics to not only improve my game but to be able to transfer that knowledge to my players.Ā Ā 

My goals are to provide you a solid foundation to improve your mental focus on the course along with the swing aspects of the game .Ā  I put a heavy emphasis on the short game where a majority of strokes are gained or lost.Ā  If you have a desire to play beyond high school, I will work hard to help you achieve your goals to theĀ best of your ability.Ā Ā 

I will be sending out more information in the comingĀ weeks, but feel free to reach out to me through email, text & even callĀ šŸ˜€Ā if you have any questions.Ā  Ā

Taylor Gardner Leads Lady Knights Hoops With Multiple All-County and All-Area Selections

Posted on

Taylor Gardner led the Lady Knights this year, earning a spot on the All-St. Johns County First Team and the All-First Coast Second Team.

Joining Taylor was Emily McIntosh and Maddie Lippy on the All-St. Johns County Second Team, with Maddie also earning an All-First Coast Third Team selection, while Emily earned Honorable Mention in All-First Coast Selections.

Oddly enough, Taylor was the highest rated St Johns County player nominated to an All-First Coast team, yet was unable to take home All-St. Johns County Player of the Year. We will have to wait until next year to see if Taylor “5-Star” Gardner can pick up one last award to add to her already illustrious career!
