Good luck to Lady Eagle Haley Ochs as she tees off in the Ironwood Classic 36 hole event on The Prep Tour at Ironwood Golf Course in Normal, Illinois. Incoming weather could make this a challenging tournament - good luck, Haley!

Our boys did not advance from the sectional at Effingham Country Club. Jack James and Michael Kennedy tied for 25th place out of 111 golfers with a score of 81, missing the cut by 3 strokes. Nolen Cleaver had a solid score of 88–what a great first season of golf this young man has had!

We are proud of these 3 and all the talent they have. Michael, a lot to be proud of in your years as an eagle golfer - congratulations on an outstanding golf career and best wishes for your future! Jack and Nolen, we can’t wait to see how your game evolves for next season! The future is bright, for both of you!

It’s always a great day to be an Eagle.

Our Lady Eagles did not advance out of the sectional today, but both Peyton and Haley shot a very solid score of 84 to tie for 28th place out of 104 golfers. Any other year, a score like that likely would’ve carried these ladies to state. This sectional bracket was the most competitive and challenging in a long time with the cut being 80.

They both have had phenomenal seasons, all conference honors, medalist honors, and are both known as extremely talented golfers within the LIC and in the area. They can compete with players who have been playing much longer than they have, and the amount of work these two put into their games speaks for itself if you watch them play.

Look out, next season. I have a feeling we will be sending a couple Lady Eagles to state next year.

Haley and Peyton, here’s to the dynamic duo and the great golf you played! What a season! Can’t wait for next year! As always - it’s a great day to be an Eagle.

Another great day to be an Eagle. Our team fell just short of qualifying by 10 strokes, but 3 of our Eagle golfers qualified as individuals! Michael Kennedy (74), Jack James (78) and Nolen Cleaver (80) all move onto sectionals Monday! Great job and congratulations!

We have two sectional qualifiers! Our Lady Eagles played at the Sandoval regional, with Peyton carding an 82, and Haley an 87. Congratulations to our Lady Eagles! Cheer them on as they play at the Monticello Sectional Monday. Tomorrow, our Eagle boys team competes at the Mcleansboro Regional. Keep cheering them on!

Senior night for this talented Eagle Golfer! Michael Kennedy golfed his last regular season round as an Eagle at Oak Glen. Pictured with Michael is his dad, Kevin Kennedy. Michael has had a very successful high school golf career with numerous medalist honors at matches in addition to All Conference honors. Michael, go get ‘em in the postseason! Congratulations on all you have accomplished!

A solid showing of Eagle golf! Our Boy’s Team competed against OPH, Marshall, Dieterich, Marshall and Robinson in this afternoon’s match at Oak Glen. The team finished second with Michael Kennedy winning medalist honors after a 2-hole playoff! And Ajay McCann shot a new PR of 42! Well done!

Our Lady Eagles finished first and second in yet another match with Haley Ochs receiving medalist honors and Peyton Lindley right behind in second. Great job!

Regular season play has now wrapped up and we look towards regionals next week. Let’s go Eagles Golf!

It’s a great day to be an Eagle! Golf is a mental game, and all of our golfers in the conference were challenged skill wise and mentally with some wicked tough pin placements today at Richland Golf Club. They persevered and grinded through, with the boys team landing in 4th place, and two of our Eagles earning all conference honors! Michael Kennedy earned 1st Team All Conference with an overall 3rd place finish individually, and Jack James earned 2nd team honors. Great job, guys!

On the Ladies side, Haley Ochs and Peyton Lindley also earned all conference honors. Haley earned 1st team all conference honors with a 6th place finish, and Peyton 2nd team honors with an 8th place finish. Excellent job ladies! These two continue to do great!

Our Eagles finish up regular season play with a match at Oak Glen Golf Course tomorrow. Next week, it’s onto regionals for our teams . Keep cheering these kids on!
