Hopewell-Loudon boys golf

Coach: Justin Rohrer2024: 4th in SBC RiverNotable Returners: Senior Tyler Foos. Sophomore Asher Smith.Others: Junior Haedyn Garcia. Freshmen Drake Stacy, Chase Carrel.Outlook: Graduation claimed four of last year's top five players, leaving this year's group of Chieftains with small numbers."I think the focus is going to be more on the individual improvement. I think team results will kind of be a bonus if we perform well in some of the shootouts and things," Rohrer said. "Not a ton of expectations (as a team)."Foos and Smith return to lead the way, but now take over the No. 1 and No. 2 spots after playing last year in lower team seedings.However, Rohrer thinks his two veteran Chieftains will do well."I do expect Foos and Asher to be on that line of possibly first or second team (in the conference). I think score-wise, I think they can shoot low enough in those nine-hole shootouts where they can kind of be in that mix, and then we'll try to squeeze whatever we can out of our other three guys without much experience," he said."They've got enough competitive rounds of golf under them where it's not going to be surprising, and nothing's going to jump up at them or anything like that," he said. "I think it will be more focused on just hitting good golf shots and continuing to make good decisions on the course, and hopefully those guys can teach those younger guys how to maneuver in a tournament and how to maneuver a golf course."
