2nd Annual Golf Tournament was a huge success
Friday, July 26th, 2013
The wrestling team hosted their 2nd annual golf tournament again this year at the Pembroke Country Club. Congratulations to the foursome of Joel Rogers, Dan Rogers, Luke Rogers and Alex Constantino as they won the team tournament championship for the second year in a row! Head coach Kevin Broderick was very happy with the success of the fundraiser and thought everybody had a great time despite a little bit of rain near the end of the tournament. Coach Broderick and the wrestling team are very thankful for all of those who were able to participate (over 20 foursomes and some great volunteers) and some very generous donations from tournament sponsor Snyder Jewelers in Weymouth (Mark Snyder '87) along with many other local sponsors, coaches and parents. The Panthers are looking forward to another great season!
