If you are a betting person, put your money on the 2047 Braves golf team to win the SICL title.
Fifty plus years ago, boys’ golf was a new sport at MHS, starting up in the late 1960s with legendary I. A. Gabriel as the coach. Prep standouts Danny Anderson, Dave Sutherland, Steve Bowers and Kevin Miller were on the first MHS golf team.
Coach Jerome Stripling took over after Gabe retired in 1970 and in two short years the Braves took home the conference trophy, winning their first conference title in 1972.
Twenty-five years later, 1997, Coach Kip Davis had a fine group of golfers, led by Bryan Sandholm & Aaron McVay. And another 25 years later the Braves are on top again! Congrats to the 2022 and SICL Golf Champions!
