Local scholastic golfers have been off and swinging as the season recently started up. At La Jolla High, head coach Allen Merryman had the Vikings sitting at 4-4 following recent play. The team has defeated Mission Bay, Crawford, La Jolla Country Day and University City, with loses against Torrey Pines, Saints, Scripps Ranch and Francis Parker. “Our losses were devastating since we feel like we should have won two, but that\u2019s golf and that\u2019s why I tell them every stroke counts,” Merryman said. “We hope things begin to bounce back our way on some of the breaks we\u2019ve been getting.” Key players to date have included number one player and team captain Dylan Jackson, along with Ikaika Velasco, Nick Johnson, Kevin Mulvihill, Austin Vincent, Brian John, Brian Boermester, Joshua Blevins, Varun Rau and Emil Jaboori. At The Bishop\u2019s School, head coach Billy Subang and the Knights is coming off a 2-11 season, going 0-8 in league play. “We hope that our seniors will give us leadership towards are younger players,” Subang commented. “We are hoping to finish third in our five-team league and win over 50 percent of our matches this year.” In a recent 207-240 loss to Canyon Crest Academy, Bishop\u2019s (2-4 this season) was led by Pieter Stougaard\u2019s 41, followed by Barry Moores 46, Spencer Bisbas 49, Steven Schoelen 51 and David Cohn 53. \u2014 Editor\u2019s note: La Jolla Country Day School did not respond prior to press time for this article.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
