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.

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.
