Under the coaching of Mr. Gary Duda ’88 P’26, Mr. Myles Huf, and Mr. Joe Redican ’60 P’88, the team “blew the field away at the PAISAA Championships last Monday (October 30, 2023) winning by eight strokes,” shared Mr. Jim Stewart ‘86, Head of Athletics.

We are proud to share this championship with our school community.” 

One of the team’s captains, Shane Powelson ’24, addressed the crowd, “Through my time here, this program has grown. As a senior departing, I wish you guys all of the best in the future.” He closed by thanking the school and his peers for the support the community has shown the team.
