Eagles play on one of Area's best courses, continue to struggle

The varsity Eagle golf team was invited back to the prestigous Sycamore Hills Invitational for a second year and had an opportunity to play one of the nation's top 100 golf courses. Unfortunately, the team was not at its best as they struggled to a team score of 380. The team was everywhere on the course that is as tight as any course they will see all year. The fortunate thing is that the course is the hardest course they will see all year and it will bode well for them as they head further into the season. Leading the Eagles was Austin Corcimiglia who shot 86, Colt Penner shot a good round of 94, Jordon Schmucker saw ALL of the course and shot 97, while Collin Sherburne and Brody Dunn concluded the scoring with 103 and 104 respectively.

Eagles drop two at Northridge

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. Leading Fremont was Austin Corcimiglia who shot a 42, Collin Sherburne and Colt Penner each had 45's, Jordon Schmucker conculded the team's scoring with a 49, while Tyler Jenkins had a 50. The loss puts the team's record at 1-2. The team is back in action tomorrow when they take on Westview and Hamilton at Lake James in NECC action. Good luck fellas.

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.

The junior varsity team had a very good day at the Round Barn Golf Club in Rochester. The team was consistent and finished in third in a very nice field. Leading the team was Collin Sherburne with an 88, Colt Penner played better with a 93, Sam Beaber and Justin Papenbrock each shot 98, finally Austin Papenbrock had a 99. 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.
