Eagles split, lose to Garrett but beat Heights

The varsity Eagle golf team hosted the Prairie Heights Panthers in an NECC matchup on Thursday night at Lake James Golf Club.  They also played host to the Garrett Railroaders in a non-conference matchup.  The guys from Fremont had three of their players show up, but unfortunately you have to have four players playing their best to win golf matches.  The trio of Austin Corcimiglia (38), Tyler Jenkins (41), and Colt Penner (45) did what they had to do.  However, Collin Sherburne and Jordon Schmucker both had up and down rounds that culminated in scores of 48 and 49.  That inconsistency simply won't cut it as the final score of 172 to 167 was a frustrating end to a nice week.  The team did win the NECC matchup, which was the most important one.  The split put the team's record at 6-3 overall, 6-1 in the NECC.  The team now has a week before they will play West Noble at home next Thursday.

Eagle golfers play hot, brave the wind

The Varsity Eagle golf team went in to their contest with Lakeland High School and Central Noble shooting no better than a 178.  Well that low score no longer holds.  The fellas from Fremont came through in a big way to win an NECC showdown against the Lakers and Cougars.  The final tally of 164 to 170 to 185 was made possible by a consistent line-up of golfers that played extremely well in the wind.  Austin Corcimiglia led the team with a solid 36, as he had a birdie and bogey and a bunch of pars.  Tyler Jenkins had a solid 42, as did Jordon Schmucker.  Concluding the scoring was Collin Sherburn who shot 44.  The wins put the team's record at 5-2 overall, 5-1 in the NECC.

The JV team also put together a great score to grab two wins on Tuesday at Cobblestone.  The Eagles' score of 186 to Lakeland's 195 to CN's 273 was a testament to just how much depth the golf team has.  Leading the team was Justin Papenbrock with a 42, Seth Wirick played well 45, Brody Dunn had a 49, Austin Papenbrock had a 50, finally Jeffrey Herndon shot a 54 to round out the scoring.  The wins put the team's record at 6-2 overall, 5-1 in the NECC.

Eagles drop two at Northridge

The varsity Eagle golf team took on one of the state's best at Northridge's Meadow Valley golf course on Monday. The team braved the elements (30 mile per hour wind and cold temps.) and had some players play pretty well, but also some that didn't have good rounds. The final tally of 160-181 was indicative of the depth that Northridge really has and shows why they are one of the state's best teams.

Varsity struggles at Goshen, JV plays well at Round Barn

The varsity Eagle golf team knew that it would be a formidable challenge at Goshen's Maplecrest Country Club as three of the players were seeing their first action on the varsity level. To say that it was an eye opener would be an understatement for the three as they each had good moments and moments of struggle. However, the top two players did a good job of rebounding from the previous week and put together respectable scores. Austin Corcimiglia shot a good 77, but knows the round could have been much better as he missed numerous close putts, Jordon Schmucker played a scrambling round and finished with 93. The three newcomers, Seth Wirick, Brody Dunn, and finally Jeffrey Herndon each shot 104, 107, and 109 respectively. The team will look to rebound from its score of 381 on Monday as they play at Meadow Valley against Northridge.

Unfortunately, Sam failed to putt out on the last green and suffered a DQ. The team's 378 is very respectable and is something that all of them should be very proud of.

Eagles split at Fairfield

The Varsity Eagle golf team took a split on Thursday evening on the Timber Ridge Golf Club. The team shot a 183 on the front nine, which was good enough to beat Eastside who shot 209, but not good enough to get past Fairfield who shot 163. It was a nice night to score and some of the team took advantage, but unfortunately many of those players were on the junior varsity roster. The team was led by Austin Corcimiglia's 38, which was one off of the pace set by medalist Zach Hochstetler from Fairfield. Tyler Jenkins and Jordon Schmucker each had 47s. Justin Papenbrock shot 51 and finally Collin Sherburne rounded out the team's scoring with a 55. The split put the team's record at 1-1 overall and in the NECC.

2012 Eagle Golf opens play at Triton, JV at LaVille

The 2o12 Fremont Eagle golf team opened up play after a solid preseason slate of practices. The team knew that it had a chance to be competitive against the Triton field, but it was up to them to determine how competitive. Unfortunately, the team didn't play up to the potential that it had with an exception of a couple players. A player that stood out at Triton was Collin Sherburne, whose offseason work was apparent as he opened with a solid 43 and ended with 93. Justin Papenbrock also played to his potential with a 101. The three juniors all had days that they would rather forget. Austin Corcimiglia shot 88, Jordon Schmucker shot 95, and finally Colt Penner had a 104. The team's total of 377 was good enough for a fourth place finish as New Prairie was victorious with a team total of 347. The Eagles will now look to improve upon the rough start and push towards a score that is 40-50 shots better than they shot on Saturday. The team has the potential to shoot that much better which makes saying that worthwhile. The varsity will be back in action on Thursday at Fairfield. Good luck guys.

The junior varsity golf team participated in the LaVille Invite at Indiana National Golf Club. The team received solid contributions from several players including: Jeffrey Herndon (106), Austin Papenbrock (110), and Sam Beaber (116). The team will be back in action on Tuesday versus the Howe School at Lake James. Good luck Eagles.
