2023 Girls golf Season Preview
American Conference
Head Coach: Collin McEndree
Players to watch: Brooklyn Millard (Senior)– Gracyn Vidovic (Junior)– Manisha Girn (Junior)
Season outlook: As a first year coach, I am very excited to see what this team can do out on the golf course. I have already noticed that this team is full of experience and talent, with a ton of potential to strongly compete in every tournament we play in. We have a good core of upperclassmen, with a strong group of sophomores and freshmen that will try and push their way into the varsity rotation. I plan to set the bar pretty high for this group, and can not wait to see how many expectations we can exceed.

Season outlook: Our team is young this year after graduating 5 out of our top 7 players from our 2022 team. With this said, we have many talented girls on our 2023 team and they are working hard and continuing to improve as we move through our season. As we move into the second half of our season, I look for us to be competing for the league title again.
Head Coach: Don Filips
Players to watch: Malia Weatherbie, 2024– Ava Grugle, 2026– Chloe Yoon, 2027
Season outlook: The 2023 Bears are looking to return to district play and improve on their fourth place finish in the Suburban League. The team will count on returning lettermen Malia Weatherbie (’24), Mia Whitt (’24) and Ava Grugle (’26). They will be joined by Chloe Yoon (’27), Sam Macek (’25), Rena Steffas (’25), Maddie Cutright (’27), and Ali Kovalak (’26). The Bears boast one of the largest rosters in Northeast Ohio with 25 golfers.
Head Coach: Damien Kopkas
Players to watch: Serena Wu (Sophomore)– Haiden Goebelbecker (Senior)– Mehr Bindra (Senior)
Season outlook: We are excited about joining such a strong golf conference this season in the Suburban. The key to our success has to lie in our ability to overcome the loss of our 2023 class, which includes two-time state qualifier Kaitlin Kormuth. The team will be led by sophomore Serena Wu, who has qualifying for the state tournament as her ultimate goal this season. She will be backed by a strong contingent of seniors who round out the top six.
Head Coach: Scotte Rorabaugh
Players to watch: Gabriella Berlingieri (Sr)– Olivia Berlingieri (So)– Sophia Thompson (Jr)
Season outlook: The Berlingieri sisters will lead the Lady Bulldogs this season. Gabby and Olivia were 1st Team All Suburban League in 2022 and both were District qualifiers as individuals.
