Northeastern boys golf has depth and a new target on its back in 2009
With success on the golf course, come big expectations and a target on your back.
That’s exactly what the Northeastern High School boys golf team is facing this season.
Last year, the Jets won their first conference title since 1968 (a drought longer than coach Lee Morris has been alive) and qualified for the D-II Districts, finishing 12th.
“It’s going to be a little different for us,” Morris said. “We’ve never been targeted before. For them to have to play with a bull’s eye on their back will be different, but I’m looking forward to it.”
The Jets return five of their top-6 players from last year, including Ohio Heritage Conference medalist senior Cameron Thomas. Seniors Ben Justice and Brandon Williams and juniors Mark Schwitzgable and Ryan Malone will round out the team’s top-5, in any order.
Seniors Chris Precek and Michael Bury and freshman Andrew Williams will battle for the team’s sixth varsity spot.
Morris said his team will have to face the mental challenge of putting a bad hole behind them.
“They have to find the ability to grind out a solid nine-hole score,” Morris said. “They can shoot low numbers and high numbers, but we need them to shoot average or above average golf.”
The Jets will be tested early, facing Tecumseh, Wayne and Fairbanks at Sugar Isle next Tuesday.
“Our schedule is going to test us early,” Morris said.
