Bow golf team's fast start bodes well for 2008 and beyond

BY RYAN O’CONNOR

They’re young. They’re raw. They might just be good enough to surprise some teams in Class I.

Come Oct. 2, when the top golf teams from around New Hampshire meet at White Mountain Country Club to compete for the state championship, Bow coach Mike Seraikas said he fully expects his squad to be in the mix, despite having just one senior.

“This is a good team with a good bunch of kids,” said Seraikas. “I’m really optimistic about this year, but what I’m really looking forward to is next year when they’re all juniors and seniors and we’re that much more experienced.”

The top six golfers, said Seraikas, are pretty well set. Ryan Varney, Jake Hughes, Ryan Hill and Peter Cummings should consistently score in the top five.

Senior captain Corey Johnson and junior Sam Cole are the two most likely candidates to fill out the top five on any given outing, added the coach. Any one of the top six, said their coach, has the talent to compete in the individual tournament. The last couple slots in the lineup are still up in the air.

“What we’ve got is a lot of kids, ninth- and 10th-graders, competing at the bottom of the order,” said Seraikas. “I’m looking for one or two of them to break away from the pack and fill in our No. 7 and No. 8 spots.”

That list includes Bruce LaCasse, Gerald Kuenning, Connor Whalley and Ryan Meaney.

Seraikas said he takes winning seriously but likes to have fun, too, an attitude that clearly rubs off on his golfers. The formula seems to be working.

Through two outings, Bow is 6-0. After demolishing Portsmouth, Laconia and Con-Val, 202 to 215, 229 and 236, respectively, on Sept. 2, the Falcons edged Kearsarge, 208 to 209, and trumped Pelham and Pembroke, which carded 214 and 250, respectively, on Thursday, Sept. 4.
