AC concludes career at FHS, shoots respectable 76

Austin teed it up for the second year in a row at the IHSAA Regional Golf Tourament.  The past year Austin shot a solid 77 and missed State by a mere two shots on Orchard Ridge Country Club.  This year, at Stonehenge in Warsaw, Austin was poised to make another run at the State Tournament.  With the exception of a tough start which saw Austin six over after six holes, Austin shot lights out!! From that point on Austin shot one under par, UNBELIEVABLE!!  Unfortunately, Austin's 76 wasn't quite good enough as the rest of the field had their own say on the outcome.  When it was all said and done Austin's 76 was four shots away from an opportunity to get to STATE.  Sadly, Austin's career came to an end, but it wasn't without a tremendous fight.  I can say as a coach I couldn't be prouder of a young man for his conduct, character, and overall attitude on and off the golf course.  I want to thank this fine young man for representing Fremont and Fremont golf so well. 

Final Boys' Stats are ready for viewing!

Eagles compete in Sectionals, Austin moves on!

The varsity Eagle golf team participated in the East Noble Golf Sectional on Friday at Noble Hawk Golf Links.  The team was looking to break through and shoot a good enough score to finish in the top 3 to move on to Regionals.  Unfortunately, that didn't happen, but the team was fortunate to have one individual advance, Austin Corcimiglia.  Austin's advancement means the Eagles have had either a team or individual in the Regionals for the past eight years.  The team's score of 349 was its third best 18 hole round of the year.  Austin led the team with a hard-fought 77, Jordon Schmucker shot a pair of 44s for 88, Justin Papenbrock ended with 91, Seth Wirick shot 93, finally Collin Sherburne shot 94.  Carroll won the event with a 311, East Noble was second (313) and Leo also made it out with a 316.  The program looks forward to Austin taking a chance at making the State Finals.  Regionals on Thursday will be held in Warsaw, Indiana at Stonehenge Country Club on Thursday.  Good job on the season and good luck Austin!!

Eagles drop two on Senior Night

The Varsity Eagle golf team held its Senior Night on Tuesday at Lake James Golf Club.  Unfortunately, the team was unsuccessful in taking down the DeKalb Barons and Northrop Bruins.  The final score of 181 for Fremont to 161 for DeKalb and 172 for Northrop dropped the team's final record to 11-8.  The night was bittersweet as one of the most successful golfers in Fremont's recent memory, Austin Corcimiglia concluded his four-year varsity golf career by shooting 39. Jordon Schmucker also wrapped up his career as an Eagle by shooting 49.  Colt Penner and Sam Beaber each ended their season's in exhibition action.  Colt shot a solid 43.  Justin Papenbrock shot a 46, Brody Dunn shot 47, and Collin Sherburne concluded the scoring with a 49.  The team will look to re-group and play its best on Friday in the East Noble Sectional at Noble Hawk.

Eagles play in Lafayette Jeff Invite, finish 15th out of 21

Two days after the Eagles played decently and shot 163 against Lakewood Park, the team once again only played ok to shoot a 348.  I start the post this way because it is a testament of just how much the team has improved this year from their early 18 hole rounds at Triton and Goshen.  I also mentioned the 15th place finish because this was a BIG time tournament.  Six of the top 20 golf teams in the state were at the tournament, including Crown Point who shot 299 (we were paired with them). Austin led the team with an 80, but uncharacteristically finished poorly.  Jordon struggled early, but finished strong late to shoot 88.  Collin shot a 39, but also shot a 50.  Justin Papenbrock shot 91, but finished with two double bogeys.  Finally, Seth Wirick shot a 94, but finished with a quad and a trip.  The team has a big week ahead and must figure out quickly how to finish a round off.  The team has come a long way, but the journey ahead could be prolonged (advance in state tourney) if the team figures out how to play a complete round.  The team is back in action on Tuesday against the DeKalb Barons and Northrop Bruins.   Come out for Senior Night.

The varsity boys' golf team hitting their stride

Only one player played their best on a blistery Thursday night at Deer Track Golf Club's Par 35 track.  That player was Jordon Schmucker who shot a solid 37.  The fortunate thing for the Eagles is that they scored a respectable 163 without playing their best, and that is something that Coach Arndt has been looking to see happen all year.  Following up Jordon's 37 was Austin Corcimiglia who shot 40.  Collin Sherburne and Justin Papenbrock each shot 43.  David Albert of Lakewood Park shot a 38.  The team score of 163 to 208 puts the team's record at 11-6.  Good job guys!  The team is back in action on Saturday at the Lafayette Jeff Invite.

Eagle boys have fun, scramble their way to two victories

The varsity Eagle golf team is beginning to hit their stride.  Fresh off of a great Saturday at the NECC, the team paired up with another Eagle to scramble against a tandem from Eastside and Hamilton.  The team's score of 111 was very respectable as the team of Austin Corcimiglia/Sam Beaber shot a 35.  The 35 was made possible by an eagle on hole #14.  Jordon Schmucker/Colt Penner shot 39, finally Collin Sherburne/Justin Papenbrock shot 37.  The Eastside Blazers shot 139 as did the Hamilton Marines, but the Eastside Blazers won with a tie-breaker.  The wins put the team's record at 10-6 overall.  Great job fellas!

Eagles shoot great at NECC, finish fourth!

The varsity boys' golf team was looking to improve on their best 18 hole score at Angola a week ago.  That score of 361 was blown away by a 331.  The team's 157 on the front nine was its best 9 hole score of the year.  The team was able to place all 5 of their players on either the Honorable Mention All-Conference and All-Conference.  Placing on the Honorable Mention team was Justin Papenbrock (88), Seth Wirick (87) and Collin Sherburne (86).  Jordon Schmucker shot an 83 to make All-Conference and Austin Corcimiglia shot 75 to finish in a tie for 2nd.  Lakeland won the event with a solid 308, Fairfield was second and the Eagles were a solid third.

The team is back in action on Tuesday against Eastside and Hamilton.  Good job guys!

Boys' Golf Statistics are now up to date!

Eagles best Busco, Prairie Heights....Play OK at Angola Inivte

The varsity Eagle golf team didn't play incredibly well on Eel River's front nine on Friday night.  However, they did just what it took to get two wins against the Churubusco Eagles and Prairie Heights Panthers.  The score of 171 to Busco's 175 and PH's 176 put the team's record at 8-6 overall, and concludes their NECC season with a record of 7-3.  Austin Corcimiglia and Collin Sherburne each shot 40, Brody Dunn shot 43, and Jordon Schmucker shot 48.  The JV team also had a couple of wins.  The score of 178 to Prairie Heights' 196 to Busco's Forfeit leaves the JV record at 10-4 overall, 8-2 in the NECC.  Winning medalist honors was Mitchel Long who shot 42, Jeffrey Herndon shot 44, Justin Papenbrock and Brandon Arnos each shot 46s. 

Great job fellas!

The varsity Eagle golf team had a quick turnaround on Saturday as they teed it up at the Angola Invitational at 8:30 a.m.  The team was looking to improve from its poor early season 18 hole performances.  The team did just that.  Austin Corcimiglia paced Fremont with an 81, Justin Papenbrock shot 91, Collin Sherburne shot 94, Brody Dunn shot 95, and Jordon Schmucker shot 97.  The total of 361 is not where the team needs to be, but it is a huge improvement from three weeks ago at the Goshen Invitational. 

The golf team now has a week off to prepare for the NECC Tourney.  Good job guys and good luck!

Eagles take step back, let home course get the best of them

The varsity Eagle golf team continued its inconsistency on Thursday night against the Blackhawk Braves.  The team can't seem to hit a stride as they play well one night and struggle mightily the next.  The score of 194 to 169 is indicative of a team that needs to gain consistency and play with a lot more confidence and swagger.  Leading Fremont was Jordon Schmucker whose 46 could've been better had he finished better.  Austin Corcimiglia and Collin Sherburne each shot 49s.  Finally, Seth Wirick had a 50.  The loss put the team's record at 6-6 overall.  The team is back in action on Friday and will look to shake loose of their inconsistencies.

The JV team also lost by a score of 209 to 205.  The team wasn't able to get any players into the 40s as Jeffrey Herndon and Brody Dunn paced the team with 51s, Brandon Arnos shot 53, while Mitchel Long and Austin Papenbrock each shot 54.  The loss put the team's record at 8-4 overall.  The JV's season concludes tomorrow as they take on the Churubusco and Prairie Heights golf teams. 

Good Luck guys!

Eagles play county rival Angola, get the best of them by 19 shots!

The team will be back in action on Thursday against the Blackhawk Braves on Lake James.

Eagles play well, finish 5th at JV Invite

The Fremont Eagle JV Invitational took place on a beautiful Saturday morning.  The team played well but didn't quite achieve what they hoped for because Fairfield stunned the field by shooting a 338.  The Eagles' score of 380 was respectable and was achieved because of good rounds from several of the players.  The team was led by Austin Papenbrock's 91, Kyle Boekhout and Mitchel Long each had 95, and Brandon Arnos shot a 99.  In individual play, Drew Sullivan had a solid 97.  The team finished in 5th place.

The Eagles will be back in action on Tuesday as they take on the Angola Hornets at Lake James.

Eagle golfers come alive, EXPLODE in victory over West Noble!!

The Eagle golf team was DUE for a great night, and a great night it was.  Led by the seniors Austin Corcimiglia and Jordon Schmucker, the Eagles took a bunch of strokes off their score to win 165 to 217.  Corch shot 38, including three birdies, Jordon shot 42.  But it didn't stop there on the front nine of Maxwelton.  Brody Dunn added a 42, Collin Sherburne shot 43, and Seth Wirick added a 45 to round out the scoring.  Great job fellas, the win puts the team's record at 5-5 overall, 5-3 in the NECC.

Eagles garner split against Fairfield and Eastside, show signs of improvement

The varsity boys' golf team was able to shed some of the rain gear/winter clothes and play some golf on Tuesday at Lake James Golf Club.  The team was improved from their last time out, but still has a ways to go.  The 189 score the team posted was 21 worse than Fairfield's and 40 better than Eastside's.  Leading Fremont was Austin Corcimiglia with a 45, Justin Papenbrock stepped up and shot 46, Jordon Schmucker had a 48, Seth Wirick had 50 and Brody Dunn rounded out the scoring with a 51.  The split puts the team's record at 4-5 overall, 4-3 in the NECC. 

The JV team also split as they shot a respectable 202.  Fairfield's 181 and Eastside's 237 gave the team a 6-3 record and puts them at 5-2 in the NECC.  Leading the Eagles was Collin Sherburne whose 47 was a big improvement from his last few outings.  Bradon Arnos had a 50, Jeffrey Herndon a 51 and Austin Papenbrock rounded out the scoring with a 54. 

The Eagles will be back in action on Thursday at Maxwelton against West Noble. 

Eagles drop two to Prairie Heights and Garrett

The varsity Eagle golf team knew it had to play a confident, smart round of golf to defeat the much improved Prairie Heights Panthers.  Unfortunately, the short games of the Eagles showed some rust and inconsistency and that was the difference in the match.  The team will continue to pursue excellence and still has some time to work themselves into shape for the upcoming season-ending grind.  The team really didn't have a bright spot, but it was led by Austin Corcimiglia who shot 45.  Jordon Schmucker, Brody Dunn, and Seth Wirick each shot 49s.  The losses drop the team's record to 3-4 overall, 3-2 in the NECC.

The JV team played very well as several players stepped up their games to win two decisions.  The team's score of 189 was three better than the varsity team's score.  The team had rounds of 46 from Brandon Arnos, 47 from Jeffrey Herndon, and 48s from the Papenbrock boys.  The wins put the team's record at 5-2 overall, 4-1 in the NECC.  Good job guys!

Eagles split on rainy night

The Eagle golf team traveled to Heron Creek on Tuesday afternoon to take on the Lakeland Lakers and Central Noble Cougars.  The weather was typical of this season, cold and rainy.  The Eagles were washed away by the weather with the exception of Austin Corcimiglia.  Austin's 40 paced the team and was the lone bright spot for the struggling Eagle golfers.  Jordon Schmucker shot 49, Collin Sherburne shot 53 and Justin Papenbrock shot 56 to round out the scoring.  Lakeland's 170 and Central Noble's 215 gave the team a split.  The split put the team's record at 3-2 overall and 3-1 in the NECC.

The JV team played pretty well on the other side of Heron Creek to shoot a 198, losing to Lakeland by a shot and beating Central Noble by forfeit.  Seth Wirick's 46 led the team, Brody Dunn shot 48, Austin Papenbrock shot 51, Brandon Arnos shot 53, and Mitchel Long shot 55.  The split put the team's record at 3-2 overall, 3-1 in the NECC.  Good job guys!

Eagle golfers start off NECC season right, win two!

The varsity boys' golf team got its NECC conference season started right.  With two victories, one over Westview and the other over Hamilton, the team sits atop the conference at 2-0.  The team shot a 181 to Westview's 213 to Hamilton's 247.  The team used a nice anchor score from Austin Corcimiglia (41) to get it started right.  Collin Sherburne and Justin Papenbrock each shot 46, and Jordon Schmucker finished strong to card a 48.  The team's record is now 2-1, 2-0 in the NECC.  Good job guys!!  The team will be back in action on Saturday at the South Adams Invite.

The JV boys also played well enough to win their match against Westview.  Hamilton had no team, thus forfeited the match versus the Eagles.  The JV won 207-265.  Leading Fremont was Brody Dunn with a 50, Mitchel Long shot well to card a 51, Seth Wirick shot 52, and Jeffrey Herndon shot a 54.  The win puts the team's record at 2-1 overall, 2-0 in the NECC. 

Eagle golfers fall short to Northridge!

The varsity boys' golf team knew it had its hands full with the Northridge Raiders.  A team that has qualified for the Regionals on 10 consecutive tries, Northridge boasts a proud tradition. We do too, and we weren't going to go down without a fight.  The Eagles fell just short by a score of 180 to 168 on Lake James' front nine.  Leading Fremont was Collin Sherburne whose 42 was well done.  Colt Penner and Jordon Schmucker chipped in 44s to help the Eagle cause.  The loss put the team's record at 0-1.  The team will be back in action tomorrow against the Westview Warriors and Hamilton Marines.  Good luck guys!

The JV team also fell short to the Raiders by a score of 203 to 193.  Leading the team was Austin Papenbrock with a 49, Seth Wirick shot 50, Brody Dunn shot 51, Mitchel Long shot 53, Jeffrey Herndon and Kyle Boekhout each shot 54.  The loss dropped the JV team's record to 0-1.

Weather, Wind, New Course gets the best of Varsity boys, JV plays well!

The Varsity boys' golf team played one of the worst rounds in the program's storied history on Saturday at Black Squirrel Golf Club.  Yes, the weather was treacherous, but clearly many teams were able to overcome the elements to shoot decent scores.  However, BIG numbers and poor course management plagued the majority of the Eagles.  A big highlight of the match was Justin Papenbrock's eighth hole.  Holing a shot from 120 yards gave the junior a nice birdie.  That hole propelled Justin to a team-best 100.  Austin Corcimiglia was plagued the entire back nine with the dreaded "shank" shot and fired a 103.  Colt Penner came back from a front-nine 55 to shoot 105.  Collin Sherburne started off horribly and shot 106.  Finally, Jordon Schmucker had a 108.  The team's score of 414 placed the Eagles at 12th out of 14 teams. The guys will learn from this experience and bounce back, but it will take a concerted effort on all of their parts to "step up" their level of effort and game management or the season will be a long one!  The team is back in action on Monday at home against Northridge.  Good luck guys!

The JV team played a good round at Round Barn Golf Club on Saturday.  The team's attitudes were spot on all day as they persevered to shoot a 410 in really tough conditions.  Leading Fremont was Brody Dunn whose 99 was solid, Seth Wirick shot 101, AP shot 103, Brandon Arnos shot 106, and Kyle Boekhout shot a 110.  The team shot 410. 

Eagle Golfers begin 2013 Campaign

The Varsity Eagle golf team took to the road early Saturday morning.  Their destination was the Triton Invitational and Rozella Ford Golf Club in Warsaw.  The team hoped to get off to a good start, but it was hard to gauge how well the season would start considering the lack of practice time so far this season.  The team had great attitudes all day, as well as solid mental game.  Leading Fremont, as will be the case most of this season. was Austin Corcimiglia with an 83.  Collin Sherburne played well and shot 92.  Brody Dunn came back on the back nine to shoot 96, finally Seth Wirick rounded out the scoring with 99.  The team finished 5th out of 11 teams. Winamac won the event with a 344.  The team will look to improve this upcoming week and get ready to take on Fairfield and Eastside Thursday.  Good job and good luck guys.

The JV team traveled to Indiana Nationala Golf Club in Plymouth to compete in the LaVille Invitational.  Despite cold temps and windy conditions, Justin Papenbrock broke 100 to shoot 97.  Jeffrey Herndon shot 102, Austin Papenbrock shot 108, Brandon Arnos shot 112, and finally Kyle Boekhout shot 114.
