The boys varsity golf season is off to a ‘tee-rrific’ start this year. The team coached by retired social studies teacher Neil Rushnock has a record as of Sept. 28 is 6-4.  The team won the AAA Westmoreland County Coaches Association Final for the first time in 10 years, and Alexander Graham (11) and Dominic Cerilli (10) medaled.

Graham and Cerilli had both golfed a 77 in the WCCA, placing them in 6th and 7th place overall in the County and assisted the team on capturing the Westmoreland County Coaches Association championship.

“My team and I really stepped up this year and brought our A-game to each match we played,” said Jason Lucas (12). “This year was the first time in 10 years we came in first for the WCCA Finals and really brought us together to really show how strong we are.”

Although losing some matches may have been tough the team had truly persevered and they came out on top. 

“The most difficult thing for me this year was just staying focused and not letting a bad hole get to my head,” Dominic Cerilli (10) said. “I got better at it over the summer and felt like a new player this year.”

“The most challenging part of this season has been getting over some tough losses and getting prepared for the next match. I think more preparation for specific courses and conditions could have made a difference in our performance this season,” said Graham.
