The Cooper men's golf team returns their five top players from last year's team.
Sophomores Adam Millson (43.6) and Austin Molen (44.2) and Juniors Bradley Jury (45.2), Ryan Thompson (45.4) and Brandon Houston (46.8) look to improve on their nine-hole averages during match play.
Adam Millson is a very solid player with a good head on his shoulders who is coming into his own. He won the Junior Amateur Tournament over the summer.
Austin Molen was the most improved player from last year and is developing into a fine player who played all summer long in the 7-Up Tour.
Bradley Jury will benefit from last year's experience and growth and continues to improve on the mental aspect of his golf game.
Ryan Thompson is a pure athlete (golf, basketball and baseball). He's a raw talent who can shoot low numbers when he is on.
Brandon Houston works hard and is improving and should continue to grind out low scores this year.
Collin Smith is a very long hitter with a nice short game. He could make a significant impact on the team this year as he matures and plays in competitive matches.
The roster is rounded out by freshmen Sammy Johnson and Cody Rose as well as eighth-graders Chase Thompson (Ryan's brother) and Stephen Weymeyer.
These four players show a lot of potential at an early age and they should get to play in some matches and help improve the team now and in the future.
The returning players love to play golf and they enjoy being around each other. They know the proper etiquette of the game and continued to grow and learn from their first year together at Cooper High School that produced a winning record at 9-7.
They all expect to shoot their best round every time they step onto a course. Their desire to improve and put the time into the game is going to be a treat for me to watch this year. If they all continue to work together and indoctrinate the new players into having their strong work ethic they could be on the outside looking in for a sniff of the regional title
