Golf Team Wins GMC White Division
The SPHS golf team traveled to Centerton for the Group II South and Central Region Golf Tournament on May 12. The
course is locate near Vineland. The weather did not cooperate and it rained on the golf course. The strong winds also made playing conditions very difficult. The scores were
JR Licato 82, Brad Martin 93, Andrew Gray 93 and Vinnie Padula 99. These high scores were due to the wind, rain and cold.
Excellent weather returned on May 13. The Tigers won their 15th match at their home course, the West Nine, against
Edison, 159 to 186. This time two seniors, Vinnie Padula and JR Licato shot 38's to lead the team.
That evening the GMC coaches seeded the teams for the GMC tournament scheduled for yesterday, May 22.
South Plainfield received a number four seed that puts the them into the finals without having to win a preliminary
round. The first four seeds will be paired together and receive byes into the tournament. The three other top seeded teams were East Brunswick, South Brunswick and Middlesex.
On May 14 the SPHS golf team won the White Division of the GMC with wins over Colonia 158-161 and Monroe
Township 158-176. Colonia had just two losses in the division, both to South Plainfield, and Monroe lost to South Plainfield and Colonia.
