Windham varsity golf team update - By Jim Beers
CASCO - The Windham High School varsity golf team was
back in action Tuesday afternoon, hosting Bonny Eagle, at the beautiful Point
Sebago Golf Course. The 2013 regular season is coming to a close, and Windham
Coach Adam Manzo spoke before the match. "In less than a week we will be
going to the States for the Qualifier. Of course we would like to win our last
two matches, (Bonny Eagle today, Westbrook on Thursday), but I'd rather see us
go out and post low team totals, and work on putting in good scores as we end
the regular season." Coach Manzo knows the importance of going into the
Qualifier on a roll, and if Tuesday's rounds are any indication--the Eagles
appear to be doing just that.
With temps in the mid-70s and not a cloud in the sky,
Windham's leading duo of junior Eli Williams and sophomore Alex Spiller got the
rounds started. Playing the front 9 today, the Eagles' ball striking was crisp
from the start. Although Williams and Spiller didn't have their
best days, they were ably backed up by the rest of the team. Senior co-captain
Keith Sample and sophomore Bryce Rolf led the second pairing, and it was Rolf's
day from the beginning. Displaying great drives and accurate irons, Rolf
turned in a veteran performance and was low medalist on the day, firing a 42.
Eagles' senior co-captain Andrew Whiting, sophomore Zack Hough, juniors Jack
Butts and Sam Coons, all turned in great rounds as well to help Windham defeat
Bonny Eagle, 10.5 to 2.5,(222-236 total), and improve to 3-6 on the year. Bonny
Eagle, who played well today, dips to 1-7.
Coach Manzo after the match: "It was close...they
all came down to the last hole. Our goal was to shoot 215 today as a team, and
we finished at 222. The boys played a lot over the summer and it’s really
showing." One more regular season match to go for the Eagles and it’s off
to the State qualifier on October 7th. "We are heading up there in hopes
of obtaining our season-long team goal of qualifying to play for a State
Championship."
