2014 Mesa League Conference Individual Championship
Mesa League Conference Champion and Most Valuable Player - Matthew Modelo and Eastlake Head Coach Robert Barrett
Eastlake High School was well represented at the 2014 Mesa League Conference Golf Championships. Top golfers from Mesa League High Schools battled it out over two days on two golf courses - Bonita Golf Course, Day 1, and Admiral Baker North Course, Day 2. Winds were up on both days which made the 36-hole tourney an extra challenge for the golfers.
The top 20 golfers from the Day 1 field advanced to Day 2 with all Titans golfers advancing. All Titans golfers played well earning second or first team honors. The tournament champion was decided in a sudden death playoff between Eastlake's Matthew Modelo and Mater Dei's, Jose Olazabal, who led the tournament after Day 1. In the end, Modelo came out victorious in an exciting finish.
Congratulations to all Titans Golfers and good luck in the upcoming CIF Playoffs the end of the month!
2014 MESA LEAGUE CONFERENCE 1st Team: Jacky Ahn, Matthew Modelo & Dylan Sullivan
2014 MESA LEAGUE CONFERENCE 2nd Team: Davis Harris, Troy Nelson & Alex Valdovinos
Titans Golf Team 1st Annual Long Drive Fundraiser
The Boys Titans Golf Team held their 1st Annual Long Drive Competition on beautiful hole 14 of the team's home course, Eastlake Country Club. Coach Barrett and Coach Matt organized the hitting session providing the players with the same three golf balls each for three opportunities to go the maximum distance. Of course, the player's ball must stay in the fairway for it to count.
Sophomore,Jacky Ahn hit first, with his longest ball measuring close to 290 yards, followed by Brandon Trevino (Sr.), Troy Nelson (Soph.), Davis Harris (Frosh.), Matthew Modelo (Frosh.), Dylan Sullivan (Sr.), then finally Alex Valdovinos (Sr.).
On Alex's last of his three drives, he maxed out at 313 yards!!! Blowing past his competition and taking home the first event's long drive plaque, Alex later on would say that he attributes his driving strength to "...drinking at least one tall glass of milk each day."
Players raised funds with donors either pledging money per yard gained based on the player's driving distance or pledging a flat fee. Thank you to all of the supporters for your generosity and support towards Eastlake Titans Golf.
And...congratulations, Alex, on the whopper!!
