Golf 2007

The 2007 golf season should be very exciting for both FRA girls and boys. The 2007 Boys Golf Team may be young, but they are very talented. In part, our success will depend on these young players to handle pressure.  The team will consist of seven players: Senior Terry Jay, (a 3-year letterman), will rebound from 2006 and he will be our leader in 2007.   Sophomore Tyler Smith will play the number one position. Tyler had a great year in 2006 when he advanced to the state and placed 11th overall; his game was even better this summer. Cris Goddard, Clay Goddard and Eric Warren will play the other three spots. They have all improved and had outstanding summer play. The other two team members are freshman Trey Brassfield and junior Wade Moss. This group of young men needs to stay focused, work hard and maintain good attitudes.  I am confident that success will follow.

The 2007 Girls Golf Team will also be young. After graduating Ashley Lance, (a 5-year letterman and 2-time state champ), we have one experienced player. Freshman Mary Funk will be our only returning player. She will play number one and has really improved from the start of the 2006 season. Joining her will be eighth grader Andrea Cropper.  I believe we can compete with other teams and our future is bright with these two young ladies.

2006 Season Review

The FRA Boys Golf Team just completed their most successful season in the last eight years. The team won 45 matches this season. They placed 4th in the Henry County Patriot Classic and 5th in the Hardin County tournament. The team placed second in the district tournament and followed that with a second place finish in the regional tournament. FRA had four seniors on the team: Clay Mitchell, Peter Guyton, Will Barrett and Josh Lynn.

Team Awards: Peter Guyton and Clay Mitchell were named team captains. Peter was named most improved and he and Clay were given 4-year letterman awards. Clay tied for second in the district tournament. Tyler Smith placed 5th in the district tournament and 4th in the regional, advanced to the state tournament and placed 11th overall. Tyler Smith, a freshman, was named the M.V.P.

During the off season, players are expected to work on their game and to spend time in the weight room. However, since many players participate in other sports, it is understood that their time may be limited. All golfers play during the summer months and are expected to play on the Junior Tour and in other tournaments starting in May. Fall practice begins August 1, 2007.

The FRA Girls Golf Team just completed another successful season. The team won 30 matches during the season. They placed 4th in both the Henry County Patriot Classic and the Hardin County Tournament. The team won the district tournament for the 4th consecutive year and placed 2nd in the regional tournament. Ashley Lance, the only senior on the team, won the district, region and state tournaments. This was her second consecutive year to win the state championship. Ashley won the state with a two day total of 140, the third lowest score in state tournament history.

Team Awards: Ashley Lance was named team captain and M.V.P. Ashley was given a fifth year letterman award and named to the All-State Team for the fourth consecutive year. She was named the Mid-State Player of the Year for the third consecutive year and has just signed a 4-year golf scholarship with Michigan State. Mary Funk, an 8th grader, was named Most Improved.

During the off season, players are expected to continue to work on their game. In addition, during the summer months, they are expected to play on the Junior Tour and to play in tournaments every week, starting in May. Fall practice will start August 1, 2007.
