AC concludes career at FHS, shoots respectable 76

Austin teed it up for the second year in a row at the IHSAA Regional Golf Tourament.  The past year Austin shot a solid 77 and missed State by a mere two shots on Orchard Ridge Country Club.  This year, at Stonehenge in Warsaw, Austin was poised to make another run at the State Tournament.  With the exception of a tough start which saw Austin six over after six holes, Austin shot lights out!! From that point on Austin shot one under par, UNBELIEVABLE!!  Unfortunately, Austin's 76 wasn't quite good enough as the rest of the field had their own say on the outcome.  When it was all said and done Austin's 76 was four shots away from an opportunity to get to STATE.  Sadly, Austin's career came to an end, but it wasn't without a tremendous fight.  I can say as a coach I couldn't be prouder of a young man for his conduct, character, and overall attitude on and off the golf course.  I want to thank this fine young man for representing Fremont and Fremont golf so well.

Eagles compete in Sectionals, Austin moves on!

The varsity Eagle golf team participated in the East Noble Golf Sectional on Friday at Noble Hawk Golf Links.  The team was looking to break through and shoot a good enough score to finish in the top 3 to move on to Regionals.  Unfortunately, that didn't happen, but the team was fortunate to have one individual advance, Austin Corcimiglia.  Austin's advancement means the Eagles have had either a team or individual in the Regionals for the past eight years.  The team's score of 349 was its third best 18 hole round of the year.  Austin led the team with a hard-fought 77, Jordon Schmucker shot a pair of 44s for 88, Justin Papenbrock ended with 91, Seth Wirick shot 93, finally Collin Sherburne shot 94.  Carroll won the event with a 311, East Noble was second (313) and Leo also made it out with a 316.  The program looks forward to Austin taking a chance at making the State Finals.  Regionals on Thursday will be held in Warsaw, Indiana at Stonehenge Country Club on Thursday.  Good job on the season and good luck Austin!!

Eagles drop two on Senior Night

The Varsity Eagle golf team held its Senior Night on Tuesday at Lake James Golf Club.  Unfortunately, the team was unsuccessful in taking down the DeKalb Barons and Northrop Bruins.  The final score of 181 for Fremont to 161 for DeKalb and 172 for Northrop dropped the team's final record to 11-8.  The night was bittersweet as one of the most successful golfers in Fremont's recent memory, Austin Corcimiglia concluded his four-year varsity golf career by shooting 39. Jordon Schmucker also wrapped up his career as an Eagle by shooting 49.  Colt Penner and Sam Beaber each ended their season's in exhibition action.  Colt shot a solid 43.  Justin Papenbrock shot a 46, Brody Dunn shot 47, and Collin Sherburne concluded the scoring with a 49.  The team will look to re-group and play its best on Friday in the East Noble Sectional at Noble Hawk.

Eagles play in Lafayette Jeff Invite, finish 15th out of 21

Two days after the Eagles played decently and shot 163 against Lakewood Park, the team once again only played ok to shoot a 348.  I start the post this way because it is a testament of just how much the team has improved this year from their early 18 hole rounds at Triton and Goshen.  I also mentioned the 15th place finish because this was a BIG time tournament.  Six of the top 20 golf teams in the state were at the tournament, including Crown Point who shot 299 (we were paired with them). Austin led the team with an 80, but uncharacteristically finished poorly.  Jordon struggled early, but finished strong late to shoot 88.  Collin shot a 39, but also shot a 50.  Justin Papenbrock shot 91, but finished with two double bogeys.  Finally, Seth Wirick shot a 94, but finished with a quad and a trip.  The team has a big week ahead and must figure out quickly how to finish a round off.  The team has come a long way, but the journey ahead could be prolonged (advance in state tourney) if the team figures out how to play a complete round.  The team is back in action on Tuesday against the DeKalb Barons and Northrop Bruins.   Come out for Senior Night.

The varsity boys' golf team hitting their stride

Only one player played their best on a blistery Thursday night at Deer Track Golf Club's Par 35 track.  That player was Jordon Schmucker who shot a solid 37.  The fortunate thing for the Eagles is that they scored a respectable 163 without playing their best, and that is something that Coach Arndt has been looking to see happen all year.  Following up Jordon's 37 was Austin Corcimiglia who shot 40.  Collin Sherburne and Justin Papenbrock each shot 43.  David Albert of Lakewood Park shot a 38.  The team score of 163 to 208 puts the team's record at 11-6.  Good job guys!  The team is back in action on Saturday at the Lafayette Jeff Invite.

Eagle boys have fun, scramble their way to two victories

The varsity Eagle golf team is beginning to hit their stride.  Fresh off of a great Saturday at the NECC, the team paired up with another Eagle to scramble against a tandem from Eastside and Hamilton.  The team's score of 111 was very respectable as the team of Austin Corcimiglia/Sam Beaber shot a 35.  The 35 was made possible by an eagle on hole #14.  Jordon Schmucker/Colt Penner shot 39, finally Collin Sherburne/Justin Papenbrock shot 37.  The Eastside Blazers shot 139 as did the Hamilton Marines, but the Eastside Blazers won with a tie-breaker.  The wins put the team's record at 10-6 overall.  Great job fellas!
