, My Team reaches Sectionals Swinging their way to a 5- 5-1 record, the varsity golf team placed 5th in Confer- ence, 4th in Regionals, and 7th in Sectionals. 'iThe team did achieve one goal, that was to come out as a team from the State Regional at Argo and, go to Sectionals, stated Coach Sam Tortonci. Tad Mossell and Pete Quirk were the two top scorers at Regionals. i'The overall season was not so good, but we came together at the end and surprised a lot of people, stated Mos- sell. Participating on the team was Doreen Bromm, the first female to be on the golf team. I took a big step this year by joining an all male team. This was something that I'll always remember, stated Brovlm. The team pulled together to finish off rather well. We had fun all season even though we didn't do so well clunng the regular season. We went farther in post-sea- son than expected, stated Brian Blackmore. The JV team ended its season with a record of 10 wins and 2 loses, the best season ever.
