Thursday, October 8, 2009 (Mentor, OH)--With the State Sectional Tournament
completed, the Mentor Cardinals look forward to next season. Only one year has passed since a 2008 senior
laden team graduated and their hopes for a fifth straight state tournament appearance
(2004, 2005, 2006, 2007) for them fell short by a mere four strokes at Pine
Hills. Senior Mike Guarino (76) was the only player that survived at Pine Hills and qualified
for the state tournament. Mike finished tied
for 27th in the state for Division I in 2008 (http://ohsaa.org/sports/go/boys/2008/bd1ind08.pdf)
at the Ohio State’ Scarlet Golf Course.
The 2010 team will be again, a senior laden group with
aspirations of qualifying for the state tournament in Columbus. The 2009 Golf Team made great strives this
season by winning an unprecedented eleventh consecutive Lake Erie League
Championship. The Cardinals won the
championship by going undefeated in conference match play and performing well
at the LEL Tournament at Fowler’s Mill with a 322 team total, 40 strokes better
than second place Shaker Heights at 362.
The Cardinals were led Junior Cory Vinborg (77), the tournament medalist,
and the Cardinals also got consistent play by Junior Alex Urbanscik (81), Sophomore
Allan Poe (82), Junior Joe Hess (82), Junior Cody Gunton (82), and Junior Matt
Ranney (83). Unfortunately, the 2009
Team was eliminated from the state tournament on Monday at Stonewater by a mere
stroke. However, the good news is that
the golf team will have everyone back for next season. As for now the team will have to wait until next
August when the Mentor Cardinals will start their 2010 season at the Brunswick
Invitational set for Pine Hills Golf Course in Hinckley.
