MEMPHIS – On the last day of final exams at the University of Memphis, the women's golf team began looking to 2016-17 and announced the signing of Ellie Youree, Thursday.
Youree, the daughter of Roddy and Connie Youree, will come to Memphis following her graduation from Southlake Carroll High School in Texas. There, she played for coach Matt Glenn and helped her team to a seventh place finish in the UIL 5A in both 2013 and 2014. As a freshman, she shot a career low round of 70 in her first high school tournament and went on to be a two-time UIL state qualifier, also earning first team all-district honors as a freshman.
