2007 Boys' Golf Preview
|
Bruce "Arch" Archibald says this will be a rebuilding year, as he lost 3 seniors to graduation. The Bears varsity boys' golf coach and math teacher is in his 36th year as a Blake School teacher and coach, and 33rd in the golf program. Coach Archibald is hoping the five players returning have all improved their games. Two of the returning players are captains, Will Teddy and Jack Barnes. Will is a senior and this will be his 3rd year on the varsity. Will was All-Conference for both his sophomore and junior years. Jack is a junior and this will also be his 3rd year on the varsity. Jack was also All-Conference the last two years. Also returning are junior Bobby Graiziger and sophomores Alex Pepski and Brandon Wirth. All three of them played in many matches last year and contributed frequently to the team score.
Eight other athletes have joined these returning players this spring to attempt to make the varsity boys golf team. Of the 13 candidates, 8 will make the varsity squad and the remainder will comprise the JV. Head coach Bruce Archibald who was the 2001 Minnesota State High School Coaches Association Boys' Class A Golf Coach of the Year will be assisted by John Hamre, Blake's varsity boys' hockey coach as the boys JV golf coach. The varsity will call Minikahda their home course and the JV will have Woodhill as their home course.
The Blake School conference opener is scheduled for Tuesday, April 10th. The Bears will play Saint Anthony at 3:45 pm weather permitting at Francis Gross National Golf course. All home matches are played at Minikahda Country Club.
