Last year, the golf team’s season did not go according to plan. A key player was lost early in the season, and the squad never found its consistency. With new coach Mr. Stevenson at the helm, Rockville golf is looking for a turnaround. A change has also been made to the CCC East, so Rockville will being facing new schools, and they hope to thrive in their new division.
A combination of good young players and senior leadership will be the formula for success this spring. Joe Philbrick leads the senior class as the best returning player and looks to keep his scores below 40 this year. Bobby Waggonner and Ben Stokes are other returning senior varsity players. They look to remain consistent throughout the year and keep their scores under 45. Tim Chepeleff, a junior varsity player last year, looks to pad the strength of the senior class and looks to continue his good playing from the end of last year.
Juniors Brian Goff and Andrew Nisbet look to solidify the lineup for the RHS golf team this spring. Brian Goff has been a consistent varsity player since becoming a freshman and he and Joe Philbrick will need to be on top of their game all season long for Rockville to strive. Andrew Nisbet came on strong as a sophomore last season and played a few matches with the varsity team. This year he will be working hard to see more time as he and Brian Goff have a friendly rival that keep the pair motivated.
All the parts are in place for the Rockville team to have a successful season, it is just a matter of executing. If everyone maintains their focus, and plays their role the team could be on their way to a great year. “Winning record or not, we always have a great time out on the course,” Ben Stokes said.
