Undefeated and Ready for More

As the excitement builds, Northern’s golf team remains undefeated in league play. With important tournaments like the Calvert County, Southern Maryland Athletic Conference (SMAC), and district tournaments looming later this month, Coach Clayton Lewis has every reason to feel optimistic. He has high hopes that this could be their best season yet, eyeing victories in the upcoming competitions along with aspirations to qualify for the state championships. The spirit in the air was palpable, as players and fans alike looked forward to what’s next for this talented squad.

Celebrating Senior Day in Style

Senior Day wasn’t just about the competition. The Northern High School golf team also had the opportunity to strengthen their community ties through a collaborative fundraising initiative. The team joined forces with Huntingtown to support a worthy cause: raising awareness for breast cancer. Team member Maggie Bradford has taken the lead on this initiative, rallying her teammates and the community around a T-shirt sale, aiming to raise an ambitious $20,000 for the breast cancer center at CalvertHealth Medical Center. It’s a fantastic blend of golf and goodwill!

Hard Work Pays Off

Balancing academics and athletics can be a tough gig, but Maggie Bradford isn’t just excelling on the golf course; she’s also hitting the books hard! With a stellar 4.1 GPA and four Advanced Placement classes under her belt, she proves that hard work and dedication can lead to success both academically and athletically. As the top female golfer in the conference, she is setting an inspiring example for her peers while also making a significant difference in the community.

A Community Comes Together

As the fundraising initiative progresses, there’s a sense of camaraderie growing amongst the players. The forthcoming presentation of the fundraising check will occur right before the highly anticipated Northern-Huntingtown football game on October 24, creating a buzz of excitement and anticipation among students and families. It’s a moment of pride not just for the golf team, but for the entire community of Northern, showing how sport can bring people together for a common cause.

With a victorious match behind them and a solid plan ahead for tournaments, the Northern High School golf team is not just swinging clubs; they’re swinging for the fences in every endeavor they undertake. Good luck to them as they prepare for what promises to be an exciting season!
