Adeline Bailey is a household name in north Mississippi golf circles as the New Albany freshman holds three girls team state championships plus two individual titles in her resume.
Bailey paired with longtime teammate Lucy King to win their third consecutive title in October and narrowly missed adding a third consecutive individual medalist honor by a mere stroke.Â
