Coach Comments- East Canton graduated 2 Seniors from last season, but we have 1 Senior and some Juniors (both existing and incoming) that we will look to take on the task of replacing two of our top three golfers from last year. A similar finish in our league schedule would be expected this season. We should have a pretty exciting competition for our #1 golfer, as there are up to 4 student athletes that could realistically finish as our #1 golfer!
