He is one of the elite players in the area. Ian’s been an integral player the past two seasons earning 1st GLC honors both seasons.

(Sr.) Jack Chalmers will join forces with Ian to be the catalysts of the squad. Jack earned 2nd team GLC honors last season. He’s played all summer and is ready to take the next step. Jack is a smart player that grinds out pars.

(Soph.) Travis Ropelewski will round-out the top three. He gained valuable experience at the varsity level last season, earning 2nd team GLC honors. Travis plays with power. He’s a high level competitor. His short game is improving.

All three are strong iron players. With improved consistency and decision making, they can all become elite players in the area. They are putting in the work and are ready to make some noise @ D-2.

We are looking forward to a competitive season. Our goal is to compete with the high level teams in the area, win the GLC Championship and make a run deep into the Division II tournament. It will be an exciting season for the Rockets.

Ethan Gruber- 10th

Coach Comments- We lost our #1, #2, #3, and #4 golfers from last year, 3 of which were 4 year letter winners. We are going to be VERY inexperienced this year. We have a lot of players that are going to be trying out this year, many of which are multi-sport athletes doing so for the first time. It will be a growing year, hopefully we will see our scores drop throughout the year and we will have a few guys step up to take the 4 open spots in our line-up.

Coach Comments- The Bay Village squad is returning three high level players from last season.  Senior Josh Hammond will be the elder statesman.  Josh has been an integral player the past two seasons.  Juniors Ian Williams and Jack Chalmers will join forces with Josh to be the catalysts of the squad.  

Josh earned 2nd team GLC honors the past two seasons.  Ian Williams was a first team GLC member.  At the GLC Championship (Grey Hawk Golf Club), Ian fired a 76 to earn 2nd place individual honors.  The Rockets surprised the field and finished  first place @ the GLC Championship.  

Jack Chalmers will round-out the top three.  Jack gained valuable experience at the varsity level.  Jack is a smart player.  He grinds out pars.  All three are strong iron players.  With improved short games, they can catapult into elite players in the area.   These fellas have been putting in the work hard and are ready to make some noise.  

The remaining three varsity sports will be highly contested. Potential candidates include sophomores Travis Ropelski, Jayson Miller, Ben Wagner, Jayden Perrine and Trevor Ormsby.  The “Fab Five” freshmen made noise at the JV level.  It’s time for these sophomores to take their games to the next level.  It will be a heated competition.  

We are looking forward to a competitive season.  Our hope is to surprise the teams in the area.  We are youthful…but have a big upside.  The Great Lakes Conference has some of the strongest players in the area. It will be an exciting conference to follow this season.

Coach Comments- We are returning 3 players that will wind up being 4 year letter winners. Outside of those three guys, we are going to be very inexperienced at the varsity level. Two of these three returnees have qualified for the District tournament in the past, so I look for 1 or more of them to challenge to get back to Pine Hills again this year. This year we are going to be looking for that solid 4th score as many other programs are throughout the area, if we can find that score, we will be very competitive in matches and tournaments.
