Golf team places second in state meet Hard work and determination paid off once again for the 1980-1981 boys' golf team. For the fifth con- secutive time, ThornWood's varsity golf team advanced to state competi- tion, taking a second place standing. In preparation for a victorious sea- son, tryouts began two Weeks before the beginning of school. Varsity coach Jim Snyder cultivated the tal- ents of the individual team members which led to many of the team's out- standing victories. It took every- one's help by contributing their skills to get us Where we are now, noted Coach Snyder. The opening varsity invitational at Peoria resulted in an impressive seventh place standing out of 45 schools. Scott Matheson placed sec- ond with a score of 110 out of 27 holes. Senior Scott Matheson took first place standing in conference. First in conference for the frosh-soph team was sophomore Scott Ward. Through much concentration, a steady arm, and a close eye on the ball, the Thornwood's varsity boys' golf team came through with a final standing of second in state.
