DAN KENDIG MEMORIAL TOURNAMENT
Wednesday, August 15th, 2007 - ECHO HILLS, PIQUA
Finishing 13th out of 15 teams doesn't sound impressive, but it is when you have five freshman and still improved on the team score from a year ago. The Buccs shot a 395, twelve strokes better than a year ago in the Dan Kendig Memorial Tournament on Wednesday.
"I'm very pleased with the play of my golfers today," said Covington coach Bill Wise. "We shot twelve strokes better in the Kendig than last year's squad. Even though we finished 13th, our young guys earned valuable varsity experience and improved a lot."
Covington was led by senior Kody Thiebeau and freshman Eric Beckstedt who both scored a 94 on a par 72. Freshman Andrew Tobias was one stroke behind with a 95.
Having three players in the mid-90s was encouraging to the Buccs' coach.
"Our top 3 placers were within 1 stroke of each other, which is good," Wise said. "It will be interesting to see who is going to be consistant enough to become our top golfer."
The leadership of Thiebeau and the youth on the roster gets Wise excited about the remainder of the season and the future.
"We're trying to improve this program with kids who want to work to get better," said Wise. "I'm very encouraged because these kids are good quality kids and are very coachable."
