Brunswick High School Golf
Congratulations to Brayden Grant and Peter Wilkoff for receiving this years
Golf Coaches' Award.
For Varsity, this season's award recipient is Brayden Grant!

Coach Routhier: "I thought Brayden did a terrific job of being ready to practice and play every day and was willing to learn and ask questions about how to improve his game. As a coach, I also respected the fact that if he wasn't in the lineup for a match, he still attended and walked along with team members to cheer and support them. He is a gentleman to all and exemplified all the ideals a coach is looking for in a student-athlete!"
The JV Coaches' Award recipient for this fall is Peter Wilkoff!

Coach Maines: "As a freshman, Peter displayed a quiet maturity exhibiting a lot of responsibility to his team and to his golf game, as well as respect for the game and the rules. He was always one of the first ones to practice, with an excellent attendance record, and always worked hard on the things that he was taught by his coaches."
