Varsity Boys Golf

Fresh off of their EPIC Conference Championship win, St. David’s golf team traveled to Greensboro to compete against 12 other top NC high school golf teams. The Warriors were missing star seniors Michael LaSasso and Christian Conway, but were still able to fire a team score of 309 at the very difficult East Course at Grandover Resort. The Warriors took home a third place finish. St. David’s was led by senior Davis Adams, who finished his round in style with an eagle and two birdies in his final four holes; firing a 1-over-par 73. Adams co-medaled individually. Junior Christian Seamster was right on his heels, firing a 2-over-par 74, followed by eight grader Preston Hage with an 8-over-par 80, and Senior Jax Nicholson with a 10-over-par 82. St. David’s has some well-deserved time off, with their next scheduled match being the NCISSA State Championship qualifier on May 9th at Cutter Creek Golf Course.

After many cancellations from overly wet conditions and a full day of rain, the boys Varsity tennis and golf teams were the only Varsity teams not to be effected by weather issues. Their games went on; here are the updates.

In the Varsity Boys tennis match against Ravenscroft, the Warriors faced their hardest competition yet. A talented Ravens team was able to dominantly beat the Warriors, winning every match and closing out the defeat. Although they suffered this tough loss, they are still going to keep fighting and working to improve their game as their coach encouraged. Everyone played to the best of their ability but the Ravens were too much and topped the Warriors 9-0. In particular, junior Lucas Pisciotta played an exceptional match at #2 and never gave an inch to the opponent despite the tough loss. Similarly, freshman Walker Coley put up an amazing fight at #6 singles and forced his opponent to earn every point. Next week, they have a game against Raleigh Charter School at Pullen Park on Tuesday, March 22nd. After the losses faced this week, the Warriors will come back strong.

St. David’s traveled to Forsyth Country Club to square off against Forsyth Country Day School and Wesleyan Christian Academy in Winston Salem. The match ended with Wesleyan taking home the victory with a 301, and St. David’s and Forsyth Country Day tying with a very close 304. The Warriors were lead by senior Michael LaSasso with a 2-over-par 73. Senior Christian Conway posted a 3-over-par 74, eighth grader Preston Hage added a 5-over- par 76, and fellow eighth grader Spence Saik added a 9-over-par 80 to complete scoring for the Warriors. Senior Davis Adams shot a 12-over-par 83, junior Christian Seamster shot a 14-over-par 85, and senior Grayson Chesson fired a 22-over-par 93. St. David’s falls to 3-1-1, but they look to bounce back on Tuesday the 22nd, where they face Cary Academy at Prestonwood Golf Club with first groups teeing off at 3pm. 

On Thursday, our Varsity Warriors went to Cutter Creek CC in Snow Hill, NC to play in our final regular season EPIC match hosted by Parrott Academy. Playing at almost 6500 yards, wind and a little rain made for a challenging day, but not so much for our Warriors.  Michael LaSasso led the team and was Medalist for the day with a round of 63(9 under par)! This ties his personal best score in competition.  Junior Christian Conway set his own personal best record with a 5 under par 67, and Senior leader Heyward George set a personal record in competition of 2 under par 70.  Davis Adams scored a 2 under par 70, contributing to the BIG day!  7th grade rookie Preston Hage showed he can play with the varsity high schoolers shooting a 3 over par 75. Along with Matt Messenger scoring a 76, and sophomore Christian Seamster shot 79.  All of this resulted in individual records set, and a St. David’s Varsity Golf team and school record match score of 18 under par 270!

The varsity boys golf team hosted the Eastern Plains Independence Conference (EPIC) golf match on Monday, April 12. at Lonnie Poole Golf Course.  The Warriors played well navigating their home course earning the team win.  Michael LaSasso led the Warriors by hitting 3 under par for the day shooting a 69 and medaling in the conference match.  Another strong performance came from 7th grader Preston Hage by shooting 3 over par for the day with a 75.  The Warriors look to continue their strong play at Cutter Creek Golf Course on Thursday, April 15 in another EPIC conference matchup.
