We had a good mix of experience and youth - Paul Asheim (Sr.), Matt Nied (Jr.) and Chris Gregg (Sr.) led our team along with freshmen Josh Stefanski and Thomas O'Bryan. All totaled, nine of the 23 players in the program were freshmen (two on varsity and seven on JV). The varsity finished the season with an outstanding regional finishing 2nd in the toughest field in the state, and advancing to Sectionals where we ended our year with a 4th place finish.

2004

JV 6-4 in Conference,  8-8 overall, 5th place in Conference
Var 8-2 in Conference,  9-7 overall,  2nd place in Conference,  5th at Regional

With six freshmen, this year was our youngest JV team in many years.  After a slow start, they really improved, winning seven of their last eight matches to finish in fifth place at conference with a 6-4 record.

With four out of six golfers returning from last year’s 7th in state team, the varsity started the year with high expectations and didn’t let anyone down.  Their first place finishes at the Redhawk and Plainfield Invites only solidified what a strong team we had.  With an awesome work ethic throughout the entire year, they ground their way to a 9-7 overall finish and an unbelievable 8-2 in the conference for a 2nd place finish.

Unfortunately, the team ended a successful season by finishing 5th at Regionals.

However, Greg Roderique capped a brilliant high school career by qualifying for the state tournament individually and finished a phenomenal 36th out of 150 golfers.

Coach Lange and Coach Owles would like to thank the entire golf team for another outstanding year.

The boys’ Varsity golf team started out the season well with a win over Neuqua Valley at the Naperville Quad and 2nd place at the Aurora City Invite. With a good work ethic and dedication throughout the season, the team finished on a positive note with a strong 5-5 record earning them a 4th place conference finish, and 7th in the Regional. The Varsity finished the season at 9-9 overall. Congratulations to the team for a great year and special recognition goes to team MVP Bill C. and All-Conference picks Zach M. and Greg R.

The JV team had an excellent season, finishing in the Top 10 at the Lockport Invite, taking 2nd at the Aurora City Invite, 2nd in the Upstate Eight Conference and beating 14 other teams to take 1st place at the Wheaton Warrenville South Invite. The golfers finished their season 8-2 in the conference and 13-5 overall. Great job JV!

2001

Even though the record of the boys varsity golf team doesn't show how hard and competitive the team was this year, the coaches are extremely proud of the team. By the end of the year, they proved to be extremely dedicated and driven to become the best players they could be. The varsity ended their season at 4-6 in the conference and 6-12 overall earning 8th place in Conference.

Their leadership, hard work and compassion for the game was also great role-modeling for the JV golf team, who ended the year with an awesome 13-5 record overall and an 8-2 Conference record, earning them 3rd place in the conference. The varsity team finished with a 6th place Regional finish. We're looking forward to combining the experience and leadership of the varsity team with the up and coming talent of the JV team. Thanks for the great year!

• Bill C.: MVP
• Andrew M.: All Academic
