Eagles split versus DeKalb, Northrop

The Eagle golf team went in to the match at Bridgewater West golf course with one intention in mind, prep for Sectional by putting together a good round.  The team did just that as they shot the best round of the year with a 163.  The team received solid contributions from all of their players.  AC shot a scrambling 37, TJ had a solid 39, Jordon shot 43, Colt shot 44, JP shot 45, and finally Collin Sherburne had a 46.  The team did lose to DeKalb who shot a solid 158, while Northrop shot a 168.  The team concluded their season with a 12-6 record.  Good job Eagles!!  The team is back in action on Friday in the Sectional at Noble Hawk.

Boys' golf competes at Lafayette Jeff, plays ok

The varsity Eagle golf team took an overnight trip to Lafayette (God's Country) this past Friday to compete in the Lafayette Jeff golf invitational on Saturday.  The team had a lot of fun on Friday night as there were pool fights, putting wars, and Tiger Woods competitions.  On Saturday the team got down to business and competed in the invite and had on player play extremely well.  Unfortunately, the rest of the team played only ok.  Austin Corcimiglia had a solid four-over par 76, which was good enough for a top ten finish.  Jordon Schmucker shot 91, but could have shot better if he would have managed his game better.  Colt Penner, Collin Sherburne, and Justin Papenbrock rounded the scoring out with 97, 99, and 100 respectively.  The team's score of 363 was not where they wanted to be, but the team knows it will do much better at the Sectional.

Eagles have fun, win two against Eastside and Hamilton

The Fremont Eagle golf team hosted its annual two-man scramble on Tuesday at the beautiful Bella Vista Golf Course.  The team had two goals coming into this match.  One was to have a good time and that was had by all, the other was to get a couple of wins in an unusual format.  They were successful in both regards.  The team put up a solid 108 score, while Eastside shot 127, and Hamilton had a 136.  The even par round was a combination of the Jenkins/Schmucker team's 35, Corcimiglia/Sherburne had 36, and Penner/Papenbrock had 37 to round out the scoring.  The wins put the team's record at 11-5 overall, 8-2 in the NECC.  Good job guys!!

Boys' Stats are up to date!!

Eagles improving, finish 5th at NECC

The Fremont Eagle golf team has come a long, long way this season in finally breaking through with a 339 team score.  The team has been working on their games, both physically and mentally and it shows as the team has taken 40 shots off their scores from six weeks ago.  Unfortunately, the top teams in the conference have proven themselves all year and today was no exception.  Winning the tournament with a 304 was Fairfield, Lakeland took second with a 319, Angola shot a respectable 322, and Churubusco chimed in with a 333.  The fifth place finish is indicative of an improving team, but by no means is the best this team has.  Pacing Fremont was Austin Corcimiglia, who shot the best round a Fremont Eagle has ever shot in the NECC with a 71.  Jordon Schmucker shot a solid 86, Tyler Jenkins had 87, but knows he can do much better, finally Collin Sherburne rounded out the scoring with a 95.  The team has a lot to be proud of for their showing, but also knows that they must take at least 20 shots off their score for Sectionals.

Eagles improving, play ok at Glendarin

The Varsity Eagle golf team took to Glendarin Hills tough track just four days after its struggling to a 198 on Tuesday.  The team actually started on the back nine this tournament and improved drastically to shoot a 181.  The front nine was a little kinder to the team as they shot a 177 to have a team total of 358 to finish in the middle of the pack.  Leading Fremont was Austin Corcimiglia with a 84, Collin Sherburne shot 89, Tyler Jenkins had 92, Jordon Schmucker shot 93, and finally Colt Penner had 104.  The team will look to have a fine week of practice and will compete in the NECC Tournament next Saturday.  Good luck Eagles.

Eagles play much better, Blackhawk edges Fremont

The varsity and junior varsity golf teams knew that Tuesday's showing against Angola was certainly not their best effort.  It showed on Thursday night at Cherry Hill Golf Club.  The team, fresh off of a mental session with Coach Wertz, played much more confidently and it showed as three players played great golf.  Unfortunately, as has been the problem this season, the team was one score short of beating a solid Blackhawk team.  The final tally of 170 to 168 was a step in the right direction and shows the team that it has what it takes to be a very good golf team.  The team was led by Austin Corcimiglia's 38, Tyler Jenkins played well with a 42, Collin Sherburne battled back to shoot a 43, finally Jordon Schmucker rounded out the varsity scoring with a 47.  The loss put the team's record at 7-5. 

The junior varsity had two players play well, while two did not play as well.  The team was led by Austin Papenbrock's 46, Seth Wirick shot a 49, Jeffrey Herndon shot a 56, and finally Kyle Boekhout shot 57.  The team lost 208 to 189.  The loss put the team's record at 7-4.

Fremont loses badly to Angola

The Fremont Eagle golf team was excited to take on the Angola Hornets and play at Glendarin Hills.  Unfortunately, the team got off to such a poor start that they never had a chance to beat their opponents.  The team combined for 39 over par on the first three holes on the back nine of Glendarin Hills.  The team didn't play well on the other holes, but played even with their opponents.  Leading Fremont was Austin Corcimiglia with a 42, Tyler Jenkins shot 46, Jordon Schmucker had 53, Collin Sherburne shot 57, finally Colt Penner had a 61.  The final team score of 182 to 198 put the team's record at 7-4 overall, 7-2 in the NECC.  The team will now look to rebound after this dismal performance and regroup to finish the week strong.

The junior varsity golf team also had a tough time tonight on the tough Glendarin track.  The team was fresh off of a 39 stroke shellacking of Angola on Saturday at the JV invite, but tonight the other team got the best of them by 12 strokes.  Leading the team was Justin Papenbrock and Brody Dunn with 54s, Jeffrey Herndon shot 56, Austin Papenbrock shot 57, finally Sam Beaber shot 63.  The loss put the team's record at 7-3 overall, 6-2 in the NECC.

Boys' Statistics are up to date!!

JV continues strong play, take second at JV Invite

The junior varsity golf team at Fremont continued its strong play on Saturday in finishing a solid second place at its home invitational.  The finish is the JV's best since a second place finish in the 2007 season.  The team's score of 356 is a solid score and really is a testament to the depth that the golf program currently has.  Fairfield, a team the JV lost to by 14 early on in the season, won the tournament with a solid 354.  Leading Fremont was Justin Papenbrock who was seventh overall with an 85, Austin Papenbrock broke into the 80s with an 89.  Brody Dunn battled his swing all day to shoot 90, finally Seth Wirick shot a 92.  Great job Eagles.

Varsity Eagles not at best, still win, JV plays great!

The Varsity Eagle golf team took their best shot at the front nine of Lake James on Thursday night, but unfortunately mental mistakes and poor chipping and putting by some of the players proved to be costly.  The team's score of 175 is simply not good enough on a front nine that is scoreable.  The team has to get consistent play from their top five in order to play with the area's elite.  Leading Fremont was Tyler Jenkins who put together a medalist round of 41, Austin Corcimiglia struggled to a 42, Colt Penner came through with another solid 45 on the front nine.  Once again, the Eagle's four and five guys came in with 47 and 49 respectively.  The final score of 175 to 186 is certainly one the team will take, but the guys understand that to be a legit golf team they must take off two to three shots each.  The win puts the team's record at 7-3 overall, 7-1 in the NECC.

The JV Eagles played an exceptional round of golf en route to their eighth win on the season.    The team had solid contributions from its entire team and shot an impressive 186.  West Noble only had three players, thus they had to forfeit.  The team was led by the medalist Brody Dunn's 43.  Jeffrey Herndon shot a 47, Justin Papenbrock shot 48 as did Seth Wirick.  Finally, Austin Papenbrock shot a 51.  Also, playing well for the JV in an exhibition match were Keith Bookwalter (48), Tony LaRose (51), and Drew Sullivan (52).  The win put the team's record at 6-2 overall, 5-1 NECC.
