Boys Varsity Golf struggled to get to States, but made it through Districts and Regionals.

Junior Eli Paresky took a deep breath as he prepared to take his putt. Paresky made the putt and felt satisfied with his results, but still believed that there was room for improvement.

“The meet went well. I learned what I needed to work on for the future,” Paresky said.

The boy’s golf team participated in the Biltmore Golf Course tournament during the match on Oct. 12. With nerves and excitement leading up to this day, the boys ended up winning the match, beating Westminster and pushing towards districts. Although the team hoped to get to states collectively, they felt proud of what they accomplished and felt happy that their senior team captain Krishan Nanda made it to states individually.

“I think the team did very well this season. I just feel like we could have done better,” sophomore Lyle Barnett said.

Many on the team achieved their personal goals, and many newcomers did better than expected. Understanding the pressure of joining varsity as freshmen and sophomores, the upperclassmen were very pleased.

“They are a great addition to the team, and I hope for new athletes to join next year,” Nanda said.

The boys felt they needed to improve their team mentality throughout the season, and work better together. Although the team made it through districts and regionals, some members felt that this may have hindered their chances at going to states.

“We struggled as a team, but fortunately, made it through districts and regionals. I hope that new kids come next year and also learn to bond as a team,” freshman Pedro Luque said.
