The Boys Golf season started up with their first meet at Fort Zumwalt South. The team is made up of a total of 13 members: two freshmen, six sophomores, one junior and four seniors.
Following the FZS meet, the team will have eight more meets and three tournaments, including GACs, Districts and Sectionals in late April and early May.
Without any state qualifiers last season, the team is gearing up for what they hope should be a much better year than last year.
“It’s fun seeing the new freshman play and making new friends,” sophomore Ryan Hale said, “and I have to work hard everyday if I want to play on Varsity, which is a big goal for me.”
None of the players last year made State, but former seniors Cody Pingleton and TJ Burke both made sectionals.
This year, the team is trying to change that, and they are looking forward to completing a significantly better season as a team. The players also hope to have success individually over the course of the season.
“This season’s looking pretty solid,” senior AJ Porter said. “We have four seniors this year and we have been playing well as a team.”
