MT.PENN GOLF TEAM IS READY TO CHALLENGE
     As the school year opens, the golf season starts and this year's team is ready to challenge. With all of last year's players returning, a good season is expected. Coach Fegely feels the team has a very good chance at winning the division title.
     In the Mounts first match, Evan Spohn and Derek Hutcheson fired 75 and 79 respectively and led the team to a 419-437 win against Daniel Boone. In the second match, the Mounts outlasted the Exeter Eagles in a 452473 win. Leading the team were Dan Hafetz with 79 and Evan Spohn with 82.
     With the enthusiasm and drive of the players, this team is ready to win the title, and they feel they will.
     On October 9, the Berks County tournament for the girls will be played. Both Maia Carvalho and Christine Jurasinski will represent Mount Penn. And October 16 the boys will compete at Blackwood for the Berks County tournament.

GOLF SEASON COMES TO AN END
     Suffering an early loss to a very consistent Reading High Squad, the golf team needed to win every other match to win the division title. They did play well against the eventual division champs, the Fleetwood Tigers. They then lost two extremely close matches against them. The total amount of strokes they lost by in both of the matches was five.
     The team has nothing to be ashamed of by finishing 64, and in third behind Fleetwood and Exeter. The loss of senior Evan Spohn could hurt next year's team a little, but four sophomores and a junior will be returning. Coach Fegely feels the team can do it next year if all the players do return.

     Her placement in Berks County Girls Golf Tour is as follows:
     1982: 4th place
     1983: 3rd place
     1984: 5th place

Mt. Penn Golfers Look Ahead
This season may be the turning point for the Mt. Penn golf team. With the experience of the older players combined with the youth and enthusiasm of the younger players may make this a season of surprises tot the team.
The Mounts opening match was lost to a strong Fleetwood team. They then lost two consecutive matches by one stroke - 472 to 471 against Twin Valley, and 428 to 427 against Daniel Boone. The Mounts fourth match provided better results. Mt. Penn defeated Reading 422 to 464 winning by 22 strokes.
Coach Roger Fegely feels that the golf team has a very promising future with a young team and they should be contenders within the next 3 years. Fegely also says that individual golfers should do well in qualifying for the district tournaments. Good Luck Mounts!
