Muskies Golfers Grind Out 15th Straight District Berth

John Glenn's boys golf team has once again demonstrated their consistent excellence, securing their 15th consecutive appearance in the OHSAA postseason. The Muskies punched their ticket to the district level by achieving a fourth-place finish at the Division II sectional tournament, held at River Greens Golf Course.

This impressive streak underscores a decade and a half of sustained success for the program. Head coach Chad Orecchio expressed immense pride in the team's accomplishment, attributing it to the caliber of players and teams throughout the years. The Muskies' qualification came with a team total of 338, placing them behind sectional champion River View (288), runner-up Indian Valley (295), and third-place Tusky Valley (336).

The young Muskies squad has shown significant improvement since their sixth-place finish in the preseason Muskingum Valley League tournament. Coach Orecchio noted their recent runner-up performance in the River View Black Bear tournament, indicating the team is peaking at the right time. Their ability to grind out a win amidst wet course conditions and windy weather on September 23, 2026, further highlights their determination. Key players included Will Hubal (82), Carter Shiplett (84), Easton Hursey (85), Quentin Yanosik (87), and Hayden Hayes (89).

Other local teams competing included Meadowbrook, which took ninth place with a 351, and Cambridge, which finished twelfth with a 366. John Glenn is now set to compete in the Division II District tournament on Monday, September 28, 2026, at Eaglesticks Golf Course in Zanesville, with a chance to advance to the state tournament.
