Week 6:

The last Region X tournament was held at East Bay in Provo yesterday.  Park City shot a school record 287 on a par (72) course with help from some impressive rounds by the varsity players.  We have had different players step up all season, and yesterday was no exception.  Two of our team leaders shot under par again.  Jack Burrus shot the tournament low with a 69 (-3), followed by Michael Coopman with a 70(-2).  Ryan Kearns was not far behind with a 73(+1) and both Ethan Eisenbarth and Justin Schluker both shot 75(+3).  East Bay was the site of the 2004 state tournament, where Park City won the state championship in a playoff against Ogden.  As a team, Park City finished the year by shooting a team total of 1,776, which was 109 strokes better than second place Carbon.  Park City also had six players finish in the top 10 in the overall individual standings. Congratulations to the team for a successful sweep of all six tournaments in Region X this season.

State Tournament - 3A State Champions!

What an incredible finish to the season.  Back-to-back 3A State Champions!  After the first day of the tournament, Park City had a 5 stroke lead over eventual 2nd place finisher, Judge Bulldogs.  Park City had the deepest team in 3A all year long, and the boys went out and proved it by posting 5 of their 6 scores in the 70's both days of the tournament.  Jack Burrus shot a -1 (72) on day one, followed by a +2(74) by senior Ethan Eisenbarth.  These two senior co-captains led the state team this year. They finished 2nd and 3rd individually.  

Each of the boys on the state team posted a score that counted.  Without the efforts of every player, Park City would not have repeated as state champions.  The miners held off the bulldogs by 1 stroke to hold on to victory.  The drama on the final few holes was something to behold for the entire team as their coach watched each one of them play the 17th and 18th holes. Each player made big putts to gain momentum over their Judge counterparts.  The feeling out on the course was like match play, as each player was paired with a player from Judge.  The crowds and intensity increased as each player made their way up to the green on the final hole. After some minor complications on the final hole, Jack Burrus sunk his last put to seal the deal.  There is no way we could have won the championship without all six players.  Congratulations Park City Miners and here's to next season!

Ethan Eisenbarth   74 74 (148)

Jack Burrus 71 78  (149)

Michael Coopman 77 78 (155)

Matt Vanleeuwen 82 74 (156)

Ryan Kearns 77 79 (156)

Brian Schwerin 77 82 (159)

2009-10 All-State Team

The All-State teams were released a few days ago by the PGA of Utah and we had all 6 of our varsity players make all-state team.  This is a big deal for our players since this is the first time we have ever had two players make the 1st Team for two consecutive years.  If you see these guys around, congratulate them for making all-state this year.

Park City has never had back to back state champions with players that made 1st team all-state both years.  Golf doesn’t get a whole lot of recognition, but what they accomplished over the past two years has been amazing.  We also had two players that stepped up for us this year.  Ethan Eisenbarth and Ryan Kearns who made the all-state team for the first time and helped us win the championship.  Congratulations Park City Boy's Golf!!!

Jack Burrus (two-time 1st team all-state)
Michael Coopman (two-time 1st team all-state)
