The hard work of the Trinity High School boys’ golf team has payed off, as they have finished the 2023-24 regular season undefeated in their section.
The coaches and players on the team are all proud of the accomplishment as their final record was 10-0 in their section and 11-3 overall. This impressive record qualified the team for WPIALS and they were section champs for the first time in school history, with the highest finish in the last twenty years.
“I’m proud of this team. They’re a fun group looking to improve and it’s great to see them grow as players and as people,” Assistant Coach Tessmer states.
WPIALS took place on Tuesday, October 10, 2023. The qualifying players included seniors Tyler Johnson, Logan Daniels and George Coyle, Junior Benjamin Spino-Yanak and sophomores Ryan Walther and Brock Carrigan.
The historic season has left everyone excited for next season. Since the team has so much talent, they hope to continue their winning streak into next season and win their section and qualify for WPIALS next season as well.
Walther says, “Next season I’m looking forward to winning our section and improving my game.”
Many players on the team, including Daniels and Walther, hope to continue golfing in college and for the rest of their lives. Being a part of the team has inspired them to push themselves to improve and grow.
The team’s ability to win matches is not the only reason players love being on the team. The players all get along well and sincerely enjoy each other’s company and friendship.
Daniels, who has been a member of the team since his sophomore year, says that his favorite part of being on the team is getting to be around his teammates.
The close-knit team spends plenty of time together with practices being held two to three times a week. They put in their best effort in matches, and are especially competitive when it comes to competing against teams such as Laurel Highlands and Peters Township.
The coaches and players encourage anyone interested in golf to try out next year. They look forward to growing the program and are always looking for more talent.
