2011 Paden City Wildcat Golf Team

In 2010, Paden City High School had three athletes playing varsity golf. But, this season the team boasts six players, enough to compete in matches throughout the Ohio Valley. 

“With only three golfers on the team last year we couldn’t even participate as a team,” said Head Golf Coach Ed Amos. “We could only turn in individual scores. With six, we’ll be able to score some team points this time around and I’m so glad for the kids. But we got some course time in last year and the kids we had got to hit some. That experience helped the two we have returning. I’m just glad we have enough this season to be able to be competitive.”

The lone senior on the team, Sabrina Midcap, returns as a starter, along with sophomore Kyle Postlewait. “These two got some experience on several courses last year and we’re looking for them to lead us.”

Jeremy Mercer, a sophomore, joins the team this season along with freshmen Levi Meadows, Dean Frye, and Kayla Barker.

“We’re looking to improve our play, our scores, and finally be able to compete against other teams this year.” Amos continued. “I told the kids that we’re here to learn the game of golf and have a good time because it’s a life sport that they will be able to play forever. We’re looking forward to the season.”

The Wildcats started their season on Aug. 10 at St. Marys. The team will play its home games at the Sistersville Country Club. They will played in a home match on Aug. 17 against Tyler Consolidated, Spencer, and Magnolia.
