Jesuit
golf finishes the season with disappointing results

The Jesuit
Golf team has just finished up its season with the district
tournament and a final exhibition match with Sacramento Jesuit.
Although Jesuit will continue UIL competition with individual
players, failure to place as one of the top two teams essentially
terminated their season. However, considering that none of
the top 5 golfers were seniors, the future looks bright for
the team.
The top
5 positions were mainly dominated by Juniors, with the exception
of one Freshman, Eugene Terry. Bryan Davis, Andrew Maryan,
Patrick Dicosimo, Alex Poor, and Eugene shot the best for
the golf team all season. With Junior rivalries over who the
best golfer was all season, a Freshman had risen above them
all by the end of the season. When asked how he felt about
playing better than his upper-classmen brethren, Eugene responded,
“I'm not concerned about who was the ‘Number One Golfer,'
I just want to play the best I can.”
In the
district tournament, Jesuit played poorly, with several of
their best players shooting in the upper 80's and even low
90's, way too high to hope to have a chance of placing. Eugene
, though, shot a 76 and a 75, good enough to continue individually
and represent Jesuit. On how Jesuit fared at districts, Junior
Andrew Maryan said “We played horribly. Hopefully this will
motivate us to practice harder for next year and place in
the tournament.”
The Golf
team is not through, however. They will play a match against
Sacramento Jesuit on Friday April 16. The outcome of the match
helps determine a ladder standing of the two schools in comparison
with schools all over the country and in Europe. On the match,
Brian Davis said, “Even though this match is unimportant as
far as the UIL goes, we still want to shoot well to show everyone
how well we can play.”
