The Post Dispatch featured our own Isaac Kelley as one of the “Five Golfers to Watch” this Spring. This is a tremendous honor as the St. Louis area is filled with some amazing golfers. Also, thanks to the Post for its excellent coverage of prep sports. #tracking-source=in-article" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">stltoday.com/sports/high-sc…

Congrats to Nick Halterman on his commitment to Lewis University. Nick will bring the hard work and leadership at the next level that we’ve seen throughout his career at Howell. Congrats on this honor and we look forward to a great senior season! @NickHalterman4

There will be a meeting at 7am Wednesday January 14th in B116 for high school boys golfers interested in trying out this Spring. Info on offseason prep, tryouts, registration, etc. Please see Coach Wayne if you are unable to attend. @FHVikings

You can’t pump yourself up and try harder in golf the way you can with other sports. In fact, you often need to do the opposite (calm down and relax). It’s why people get so frustrated - what works elsewhere is like pouring gasoline on a fire in golf 🔥😬😡

Congrats to senior Isaac Kelley on his commitment to Lindenwood University. He’s a tireless worker who will be a great addition to their program.

Congrats! Keep that positive momentum going the rest of the way.

There is a brief meeting Wednesday 8/27/25 at 7am in B116 for those high schoolers interested trying out for Boys Golf this Spring. Please see Coach Wayne if you can't attend. @FHVikings
