Sports October 2005 8 A new year brought a new chance Time to rebuild and start swinging in a new location for boys varsity golf By Paul DiGiovanni Flash Sports Reporter With the departure of seniors Kyle Fredrick ‘05, Kevin Onofrey ‘05, and Kale Rigby ‘05 varsity golf team struggled on September 1 st against Anchor Bay High School where they lost 180 to 187. “I didn’t play well. I only managed to shoot a 49 and the team low was a 41 shot by senior Dave Konieczny ‘06,” said 11 th grade golf team member Mike Grillo ‘07. A major concern was who would fill the spots of last years star seniors. “I think that captain Tony Flagg ‘06, Dave Konieczny ‘06, and Brad Cotton ‘06 will try to fill in for them but it’s not going to be easy,” said Mike Grillo ’07. Not only did they have to Senior Brad Cotton brushes up on his short game by chiping a shot on to the green. replace the best three golfers on last year’s team, they also had to change golf courses from Oakridge to Maple Lane. This season was a tough test for the boy’s varsity golf team; they had to work a lot harder to try to match last year’s record of 8-2. “This year we lost three key players from last year ’s season,” said boys varisty golf coach, Mr. Gary Haxer. “We also lost three other players who were going to play Varisty this year. With that in mind, I think we had a good season.” The golf team started out with two more defeats against Warren Woods Tower and Lutheran High North and fell to a 0-3 start. After several defeats, they won two games and went for a third in the rematch against Warren Woods Tower. “Next year is going to be tough. We will lose our three key players again,” said Mr. Haxer. “But we have four freshman from this year who may move up to varisty. I think we will do good.” Unfortunately the golf team struggled towards the end of the session finishing with a 4-6 record. Mr. Lee O’Bryan returns a serve at the Fraser Alumni Tennis reunion. Fraser Alumni Tennis Mixer, don’t rain on their parade By Josh Whipple, Flash Contributor The second annual tennis alumni tennis reunion took place on September 17th , 2005. This is an event where students of the past come back to Fraser High School for a day of tennis. The event this year had representatives from five decades, 26 people total. The forecast for Saturday called for sunny skies and temps in the lower 70’s, but that wasn’t the case. Early in the day it started raining and the event was postponed. Matches were only delayed for an hour until they decided to start playing. The games were doubles and mixed doubles. The first match of the day took place between Bob Boyd and Steve Lewis, with wooden racquets. These two were the coaches that day. Hopefully next year other graduates will join the alumni that played this year. Innovation in the Making At Lawrence Tech, we don’t simply fill your mind with formulas and equations.
