Fundraiser for Berea-Midpark Golfer

Bobby BolinLeave a comment

Avery James is a junior at Berea-Midpark High School who is a member of the golf, basketball, and softball team. In 8th grade, she was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes and her family is concerned that the symptoms of the condition will cause numerous problems as she goes off to college after graduation. They are hoping that they can provide Avery with a service dog to assist her as she makes that transition. Her friends and family are holding a fundraiser on May 30th at Rookies Sports Bar and Grill in Parma Heights.

The cost to attend the event is $30. The menu includes pizza, wings, pasta, salad, and dinner rolls. Drinks are also available. There will be raffles, sideboards, and a 50/50 drawing.

Please respond to bolinr@hudson.k12.oh.us if you would like to attend the event along with us.

OhioHSGolf Awards 2025

Bobby BolinLeave a comment

Congratulations to all our teams and players on an amazing 2025 golf season. Here are our awards for 2025. These awards are selected by a group of coaches close to the sport from various parts of the Northeast District. This is not affiliated with the OHSAA, iWanamaker, or the Northeast Ohio District Coaches Association.

Note for 2025: Our philosophy is to try not to name co-winners of our awards. Sometimes that is extremely difficult to adhere to. This year, in Division 1 there were two candidates for the Player of the Year award that were pretty much impossible to separate. We felt the only way to do both of these amazing players justice is to name Co-Players of the Year. Please check below to see who they are!

Welcome to the 2025 Golf Season

Bobby BolinLeave a comment

It is July 28th, 2025! This is the day we have been looking forward to ever since the State Championship tournaments wrapped up last year. Schools are now able to officially start tryouts, practices, matches, and tournaments.

This will be our third season covering Girls Golf in Northeast Ohio. We will be releasing previews for every girls golf team in the OHSAA Northeast District later this week. Coaches have been sending in information throughout the entire summer. We also will have previews for approximately 65 boys teams that responded to our survey.

If there is any content that you would like to see published on our website and social media, please feel free to send it to bolinr@hudson.k12.oh.us and we will try to get it out there. You can also contact us through our Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook accounts. We are trying to promote the sport and shed positive light on all of our teams.

For the first time in well over a decade, the defending Division 1 State Champion is from Northeast Ohio. One last time, we would like to congratulate Magnificat and coach Danny Gallagher on this amazing feat. They will be looking to repeat and will bring back a team that is more than capable of doing so.

On the boys side, Archbishop Hoban and coach Quinn Parker are no strangers to being at the top of the State Tournament. This year, it will be held right in their backyard at Firestone Country Club. The amount of talent in our part of the state is incredible, and there are multiple teams that have a chance to make a run at the title.

We also make sure to cover Division 2 and boys Division 3 golf, teams that sometimes get overlooked by much of the news media. There are a lot of regional media outlets that cover their local schools (shoutout to Tom Nader, Susan Jenior, YSN, the News Herald, the Medina Gazette, and many others) but we try to be a little more comprehensive to get all teams the attention they deserve.

The race to the State Tournament in Girls Division 2 is going to be really excited to follow this season. Based on our projections and models, there are six or seven schools that will have at least an outside shot of representing the Northeast District at Heatherwoode in October.

After following summer golf, there are some insanely good players to watch. Northeast Ohio is fortunate to be a hotbed of quality players and teams that are exciting to watch play. While we can’t name them all right here, look for our “Players to Watch” post that comes out with the previews later this week. These players will be following a legacy set by some amazing athletes that are still making waves in the college and professional golf scenes.

Personally, I am so excited for this season with my team, the Hudson Explorers. We are returning some quality players, but even more importantly, some quality people. It is truly an honor to be able to work with our players and their families on a yearly basis. I cannot tell you how much I look forward to this every year. Most importantly, I am anticipating that we have nine freshmen trying out for our teams, and all of them having been working hard in the offseason.

Once again, we absolutely love covering this sport and we appreciate all the followers, coaches, players, and parents who help make this possible. We are hoping that everyone has a wonderful season in which you reach all your goals and stay healthy through the process. We look forward to promoting our teams and making 2025 the best season yet!
