Weekly Recap
Saturday, May 2, 2020
Hello Again Everyone,
It has been awhile since you heard from us as (I am sure you know) our season was postponed and then cancelled completely. This has been difficult for us – especially our seniors who are missing so many milestones of their last year in high school. St. John Bosco High School is still planning to honor them in any way we can. One thing the school and Athletic Department decided to do was to award all seniors a varsity letter. We are also hoping to have a Golf Team banquet to honor all our players but that is obviously up in the air, as is pretty much everything at this point in time.
We did receive one bit of good news this past week. Each year at our banquet we have given certificates to our Scholar-Golfers. It was always based on their 3rd quarter grades (because that is primarily when golf takes place) but since there are no 3rd quarter grades this season we reverted to 1st semester grades. As is turns out – 20 of our 27 golfers made the honor roll in the first semester. 18 of those 20 had above a 3.5 and 8 of them were at 4.0 or better!!! CONGRATULATIONS guys. You darn well better believe we are as proud of them as we can be.
They are all listed below:
