2016 GOLF PREVIEWS...
The boys and girls golf teams head back to the course with high expectations in 2016.

GIRLS GOLF PREVIEW
Adam Swiegart returns as coach for the second year.

The Lady Buccs finished 4-12 overall last year and 4-4 in the CCC.

Returning letter winners include seniors Addison Metz, Kelsey McReynolds and Megan Alexander; junior Noelle Gast; and sophomore Emily Thompson.

Rounding out the roster are sophomores Mackenzie Gambill and Emily Hedrick; and freshman Bailey Tipps.

"This season is a season full of experienced golfers, with five of our six players returning," Sweigart said. "We have a strong core of seniors (3) who will anchor our scoring efforts. All of the ladies have plenty of ability to provide a strong showing each match we play.

"We have three new players this year who are new to the game, so they will have valuable learning experiences this year to continue to build on their skill moving forward. Our team is full of players who are using each day at practice and each match they play to improve their scores and build their confidence in their overall golf game.

"My hope as a coach is to compete at each match we play and produce a good team result, but also allow the girls to improve their scores each time they go out on the course. We hope to be more successful each and every year, and our team has the skill to do so."

The Buccs hope to finish in the top three in the conference.

2016 Girls Golf Team
Kneeling (L-R) - Mackenzie Gambol, Bailey Tipps. Standing (L-R) - Coach Adam Steigart, Noelle Gast, Addison Metz, Kelsey McReynolds, Megan Alexander, Emily Hedrick, Emily Thompson.

SENIORS: Addison Metz, Kelsey McReynolds, Megan Alexander.

BOYS GOLF PREVIEW
Bill Wise returns for his 11th season as coach.

The Buccs finished 28-80 overall last year and 11-11 in the CCC.

Graduating off that team were Levi Winn and James Grilliot.

The lone returning letterwinner is Andrew Slusher.

"With only one returning letterman, we will be very young and inexperienced this season," Wise said. "Two seniors graduated and two other lettermen from last season are not playing this year. Our one returning letterman (Andrew Slusher) will be very good this season and should be among the top five players in the league.

"Beyond that, we will need to dramatically improve to compete for a league title. Derek McCool (senior), Hunter Alexander (sophomore), Jack Shell (sophomore), and Dylan Lucas (freshman) will round out the top five and newcomers Garrett Warner (sophomore) and Thomas Keuther (freshman) will be rotated in the sixth spot throughout the season. Our goal this season is to keep improving throughout the season while picking up valuable playing experience."

Wise is hopeful to compete for a middle of the pack finish in the CCC.
