Coach Comments- We are returning a motivated and hard working group of Seniors this season. Last year, at our first CWC Tournament, we collectively shot a 406. By the season’s end, we were down in the 360s, which demonstrates the success and hard work of this group. Returning is last year’s MVP, Myles Wisniewski. He is known for his long drives, and looks to continue to put himself into a good position of the tee. The hardest working one in the bunch is Senior Brody Daniels. The growth of his game has been incredible, and it is because of his consistently hard work in his free time. He is committed toward getting better each day, and will pose a real challenge to be our Team MVP this season. Nolan, Tyler and Justin, all Seniors, who have continuously gotten better as they have played more. Each are hard workers who show true dedication toward getting better. It will be a very exciting group to watch as this season comes forward!

Coach Comments- We lost 6 of our 8 Varsity golfers from last year. This years team will be full of Seniors, but few of them with Varsity Golf experience. This season’s success will be based on who steps up to fill all of these available spots. One major player to watch this season is Peyton Wolf. He is a 4 time Varsity golfer and has been one of our best golfers every year since his Freshman season. He has come close to making it to State the last two seasons and I strongly believe this will be the year he breaks through. Expect a lot of low rounds and tournament wins from him this year.
