Golf Team Completes Successful Season; 2 Golfers Make Regionals
This year's golf team did a fantastic job. We finished 6-2 on the season. We also had two individuals (Jake Francis and Morgan Gardner) advance to Regionals this year. Though being shorthanded this year, we finished with a winning record and will not lose any players due to graduation this spring. With all returning next year, we should be very strong.
A few highlights this year would be our win over Westminster early in the season. Jake Francis defeated Westminster's #1 golfer in a sudden death playoff. Jake birdied the number 9 hole par 5 to seal the Crusader victory. Skylar Thompson had a great year being a year older and stronger. He hit the ball a lot further and putted very well this year. Morgan Gardner was our only girl and had a wonderful year. She spent most of her time beating the guys from Championship tees. David Keene is 1 year away from being an excellent golfer. Still in middle school, he shows a great short game. Mike Field, a first year golfer, shows some athletic promise.
