 The
2011 Olentangy Orange Boys Varsity Golf Team - led by
two upper classmen John M. and John J. -
defeated more than 100 teams in Division I golf for the
first time in the high school's history. Another primary
achievement was John M. becoming the first Olentangy Orange
individual golfer to qualify for the District Golf Tournament
(Division I) after shooting 77 at the Sectional Tournament
at Darby Creek Golf Course.
The
Boys Varsity Golf team had a season-long record of 102-88
during the season's invitational, Ohio Capital Conference
(OCC), and central Ohio golf tournaments during the
2011 campaign. Boys golf coach Mark Corica said,
"This was a really fun group of young men to coach
this year, as they really rooted each other on, enjoyed
the Division I level competition, and pulled together
to beat more golf teams than any other varsity golf
team in Orange history."
Coach
Corica added, "We have a nice foundation for the
2012 season led by a four-year varsity level player
in John M., a nicely improved player in Ray
A., and a host of new young players moving up through
the ranks on the Junior Varsity golf team."
