WHY BALL STATE: I chose Ball State because I loved how nice the coach and players were on the golf team. I also loved the campus and thought all the training areas and facilities for practice were really nice.

Lexi Ray Franklin, Ind. (Franklin Community)
ANDRY ON RAY: Lexi is one of the state's best players and we are thrilled to keep her right here in Indiana. She is a ferocious competitor with superb power, athleticism, and a fun, team-first attitude which make her a great fit for our program. Her junior and amateur golf accomplishments are indicative of the talent she has, and she is only beginning the process of reaching her full potential.
CAREER HIGHLIGHTS: A four-year letterwinner in golf at Franklin Community High School for coach Ted Bishop ... IHSAA All-State honoree as a freshman and senior ... earned top 18 finishes at the IHSAA Girls Golf State Finals all four years, highlighted by a second-place finish as a senior and a sixth-place finish as a freshman ... sectional champion in each of her final three seasons and a three-time county champion ... four-time All-Mid-State Conference honoree and four-time all-county selection ... team captain as a senior and team MVP all four years ... helped guide the Lady Grizzley Cubs to three team appearances at the state finals, including a fifth-place team finish her junior season and a sixth-place team finish her senior campaign ... helped Franklin Community win sectional and regional titles as a junior and senior ... also had a successful prep tour career, including winning the 2024 Indiana Golf Girls State Junior Championship and placing fourth in the championship in 2025 ... captured medalist honors at the 2023 Indiana Golf Southern Junior Masters ... competed in the 2025 Indiana Women's Amateur Championship, as well as the 2024 and 2025 Girl's Junior PGA Championships ... competed in the 2024 US Girls Junior Amateur Championship.
WHY BALL STATE: The reason I chose Ball State was because as soon as I stepped on campus and met the girls, I instantly knew that's where I belong. The girls were so kind and treated me like family, and Coach Andry always kept in touch with me. He not only wanted to know how things were going, but also made sure I got to truly experience what it was like to be part of the team during my visit, rather than just showing me around campus. That was something I thought was really unique and something most coaches don't do.
Another reason I love Ball State is because of the size of the campus. I've always wanted to go to a larger school, and Ball State gives that big-school atmosphere while still maintaining the close-knit feeling of people knowing each other. My mom also went to Ball State and played volleyball there. Her team was a multiple-time conference champion, so being able to attend the same school she did and hopefully accomplish some of the same things is a really special experience for me.
Finally, I chose Ball State because I believe the golf program is on the rise. With Coach Andry being new to the program and eager to succeed, I'm confident that we'll accomplish great things. I also believe that Coach Andry and the incredible facilities available to us will help me improve tremendously over the next four years. I'm so happy to finally be a Cardinal. #chirpchirp
