The boys followed an impressive sectional championship win with
a relatively disappointing district tournament showing. They shot a 338
as a team with a strong contribution from senior Tommy Arison, who shot a team low 79. Though they will not be moving on this season, their successes are comfort enough.

“The boys showed their true passion by not once giving up,” head coach John Baranek said.

Much of the success is credited to senior leadership from Chris Brady, Tommy Arison and Nick Junk. However, supportive performances by the team’s youngsters such as Jimmy Bott and Marcus Carano, solidified the squad.

“The biggest accomplishment was definitely finishing first in sectionals,”
Baranek said.

The team won with an impressive score of 314. Although this season is finished, the success of the younger players make the
future bright on the links.

Enveloped in a newly formed league of tough teams, the girls’ bags had
some added weight that did not stop them from winning their league. Keeping up with teams such as Cuyahoga Valley Christian Academy, St. Vincent-St. Mary, Green and Tallmadge was no walk on the
fairway.

“We worked really hard to win, especially on our home course,” sophomore Abbey Dankoff said.

Hats and visors were tipped to first year head coach Tom Karg for utilizing the team’s talent in extraordinary fashion. The remainder of praise was attributed to the team unity.

“Everyone pushed themselves and each other to do better,” Dankoff said.

The team had a just-over-par performance at sectionals on Oct. 6 and did not advance any further. Nevertheless, they are keeping their heads high and already looking forward to summer tournaments.
