| 9/7 | Mason Invite | The Mason Comets hosted the 50th Annual Mason Cross Country Invitational on Saturday. It was a spectacular day to be outside in Mason's beautiful Corwin Nixon / Pine Hill Park. A special acknowledgement goes to former Mason Cross Country Coach Ken Schimthorst. He founded the invitational in 1974. What a legacy he has left us. Thank you Coach Schmithorst!
The Comet Boys CC team raced some great competition and finished third out of 18 teams. Kentucky's #1 Louisville Trinity emerged victorious. Mason was led by Junior Caden Winship who battled for the individual title down to the last few meters, and finished second. He was followed by Seniors Jason Xu and Will Buckalew in 9th and 10th respectively. Sophomore Eligh Amshoff and Freshman Logan Mix ran solid races to round out the Comets' scoring in 25th and 26th place. Sophomore Paras Yadav and Senior Max Greco served as displacers as 6th and 7th men for the Comets. A special thank you goes to our tireless boosters who worked endless hours to make the event happen.

| 8/23 | Buckeye Running Company Invite | The Mason Girls Cross Country team was in action for the first time on Friday night. The meet was on a new course to the Comets, the Oeder lake Buckeye Sunset Invitational. For the first race of the year, the Comets had to face their arch rival Hillard Davidson. The HD XC team is one of the best in the state year in and year out and will most likely be nationally ranked this year. The race went out pretty fast and the HD girls took over quickly. We put up a good fight but they were a little too much to handle. Efa Paschka took it out in a measured way, but chipped away and placed 3rd overall. Addison Stephens looked great in this first contest and had one of her best times ever. Atalia Hawkins looked strong, and ran well, with Bella Teply just behind. Our fifth and final scorer on the day was Tessa Palmer who ran great. Emily Moran and Auna Korostyshevsky also did well and looked strong as did Freshman Eva Mathur. Overall, it was a great day for the Comets and a solid start. The team took 2nd overall, but we were very encouraged with our run, and hope that Hillard Davidson is in range for later in the season. Next up is the Mason Invite, and it always is a good one. The Comets will host the 50th Annual Mason Cross Country Invitational on Saturday, September 7th at Corwin Nixon Park. Races start at 9am. This Saturday, September 7th the Mason Invitational is hosting 75 teams and 2500 athletes for the 50th anniversary of our invitational.

| 9/7 | Mason Invite | This past weekend's Mason Invitational was a huge success, and the parents and athletic office were a great part in making it all happen. The Comet Girls Team had many new best times, some great efforts that led to a team win in the Varsity race. The girl's started off slower than normal and let the race develop. Some teams faded late, but the Comets ran strong in the 2nd half of the course and looked tough. Efa Paschka was Mason's top scorer, with Addi Stephens not too far behind. Bella Teply had a big battle with a Madeira girl, and was our third Comet to cross the line. After Bella Tessa and Emily Moran stepped up big to fill in our 4th and 5th scoring spots to secure the win. Auna Koro was strong on Saturday as was Eva Mathur. The team battled with Talawanda and East early but pulled away late as they secured the victory with smart and tough racing. Clara Vaz was our first runner to cross the line in the open race, with Lexi Strain not too far behind. Zoe Fowler had a great day as well, with Khusbu, Julia and Nicky B all coming in not far behind. Great job ladies, and it is time to get ready for Troy next week! |

| 8/3 | Sycamore Invite | On Saturday, August 3, the Mason Boys participated in the Sycamore Invitational at Blue Ash Golf Course - a season-opening event for many Southwest Ohio Boys Golf programs. The Comets finished 3rd out of 18 teams with a team score of 309 and were led by seniors Thomas Niere with a score of 74 and Ben Morneau with a score of 75. | ||||
| 8/5 | East Invite | On Monday, August 5, the team played in the Lakota East Invitational at Shaker Run Golf Club. Mason posted a team score of 319 and finished 6th among 20 teams. The Comets were again led by senior Ben Morneau with a score of 75 (finishing T8 out of 100 individual golfers). The Lakota East Invitational was won by state-championship-favorite Dublin Jerome. | ||||
| 8/9 | Mt. Vernon INvite | On Friday, August 9, the Comets traveled to Mt. Vernon, Ohio, to compete in the Arrow Invitational at Chapel Hill Golf Course. Mason scored 299 and finished 3rd of 19 teams, most of whom were from the Columbus area. St. Xavier, the only other Southwest District team participating, was in 4th place at 304. The Comets were close to winning the event, as St. Charles placed first at 293, and New Albany finished second with a team score of 296. Senior Blake Ernst led Mason with a score of 73, placing him in a tie for 7th among 95 individual players. Seniors Thomas Niere and Carson Hendy were in the top 20 each with a score of 75.
|
||||
| 8/10 | St. X Invite | On Saturday, August 10, the Comets Boys Varsity Green golf team participated in the St. Xavier Invitational tournament at Maketewah Country Club. Mason posted a team score of 312 - a 41-shot improvement over last year's team score - and finished 8th in an elite field of 15 teams from all around Ohio.
Senior Ben Morneau was the low scorer for the Comets with a 77. Thomas Niere (12) & Carson Hendy (12) each shot 78. Curtis Crimmins (11) posted the team's final counting score of 79. Blake Lockhart (12) posted Mason's 5th score of 82, so all 5 Mason players scored below the 94-player field's average score of 83.8.
The Comets compete again today (8/12/24) in the 24-team Eagle Classic at York Country Club in Worthington (Columbus), Ohio. Today's tournament is hosted by Columbus Bishop Watterson High School.

| 8/12 | York Golf Club | |||||
| 8/15 | Denison Invite | On Thursday, August 15, Mason traveled to Granville, Ohio, to compete in the Rodney Butt Classic Invitational Golf Tournament at Denison University Golf Club. Rodney Butt was the longtime PGA Professional at the course when it was formerly known as Granville CC, and this tournament - hosted by Granville HS and featuring both a morning and an afternoon flight for teams from all around Ohio - is named after him. The Comets posted a team score of 312 on another unfamiliar golf course and finished 7th in an 18-team field. Junior Curtis Crimmins had the team's best score with a 75, missing the all-tournament team by only 4 strokes. Senior Blake Lockhart had the second best score for the team, posting a 77, while senior Ben Morneau had the team's third score in the 70's, a round of 79. Seniors Blake Ernst and Carson Hendy each posted a score of 81 on the par-71 track in an event held on another day of spectacular golf weather.
According to the GMC website, the very deep Mason Comets team currently has 6 players in the top 15 for individual scoring average in the GMC. However, none of those players are in the top 6, as all are currently ranked between 7th and 15th. Mason will continue to try to bring down their averages in their next two tournaments, this Saturday 8/17 at Walden Ponds Golf Club in the Moeller Invitational, and again on Monday 8/19 at Heatherwoode Golf Club in the Springboro Invitational. A shift back to more familiar courses might help the scoring averages, but worse weather is predicted over the next few days - which might make scoring conditions more difficult.
|
||||
| 8/17 | Moeller Invite | On Saturday, August 17, the Mason Boys Golf Team entered the prestigious Moeller Invitational at Walden Ponds for the first time. The Comets were competing on a very familiar course but in some difficult conditions - the course was stretched out to its full 7,002 yard length, and the wind was strong throughout the day. Mason shot 316 and finished in a tie for 8th place among 22 teams. Seniors Ben Morneau (77) & Blake Ernst (79) posted steady rounds, while junior Curtis Crimmins eagled the final hole - nearly holing a 7-iron from 199 yards - to post a score of 78. | ||||
| 8/19 | Springboro Invite | On Monday, August 19, the Comets traveled to Springboro to compete in the annual Springboro Invitational at Heatherwoode Golf Club. It was another windy, difficult day on a long golf course, but Mason was able to improve their score from Saturday by 19 shots, posting a team total of 297. This season-low team total was good enough for a 7-shot victory over 2nd place Kettering Alter, the defending D2 State Champions. Among the other 16 teams in the event were GMC rivals Sycamore and Lakota East as well as the defending GMC Champions, Lakota West.
Seniors Ben Morneau and Thomas Niere led the Comets, each with excellent rounds of 72 (+1), while seniors Blake Ernst (76) and Carson Hendy (77) provided the 3rd and 4th scores. Junior Curtis Crimmins shot a score of 78 for the team's 5th place score. Mason posted an especially strong team total score of 141 (-3) on the front nine. In the shotgun start, the front nine at Heatherwoode became the first 3-4 and the last 5-6 holes Mason's for individual players, so the Comets had both a strong start and a strong finish. The team competes next in the Bellbrook Invitational this Saturday at Sugar Valley Country Club in Bellbrook.

| 8/24 | Bellbrook Invite | On Saturday, August 24, the Mason Comets Boys Varsity Green Golf Team traveled to their 9th Invitational tournament of the season. The Bellbrook Best of the Southwest Invitational was held at Sugar Valley Country Club and was hosted by the Bellbrook High School Golden Eagles golf team. Mason finished fourth in a strong field of 18 teams, seven strokes out of first place.
Leading the way for the Comets was senior Thomas Niere with a fine score of 75 on the par-71 course. Thomas tied for 9th individually in the tournament and missed out on making second-team all-tournament only by a tie-breaker. Junior Curtis Crimmins had a score of 76, and senior #1 player Ben Morneau added a 77 to put the Comets in good position for a top-five finish. Seniors Blake Ernst (82) and Carson Hendy (83) rounded out the scoring on a very warm day on the golf course where patience with the firm, slick greens was a constant necessity. The team missed its two individual tournament scoring goals (one player to shoot 72 or less and a fourth score of 78 or less) by only 3 or 4 strokes each. Those 7 strokes total were the only difference between first place Elder's score of 303 and the Comets' score of 310.
Mason next tees it up on Monday 8/26 in a Quad match at Shaker Run at 4:00 pm against the defending GMC champions from Lakota West, Fairfield, and Mason White. Later in the week, the Comets have an unusual dual match with a GCL powerhouse school - the team that won yesterday's tournament - Elder High School at Miami Whitewater Forest Golf Course. |
||||
| 8/26 | vs. East and Mason B | On Monday, August 26, the Mason Boys Golf Team played their 10th competition of the year, reaching the halfway point of the regular season prior to Labor Day. This competition was the team's first 9-hole match following 9 consecutive 18-hole tournaments and was the first Home event of 2024 for Mason Green. Senior Thomas Niere was the match medalist with a fine score of 2-under-par 34. Sophomore Jaxson Hutzelman - competing in the starting lineup for Mason Green for the first time in his career - posted a score of 39.
The match was played at Shaker Run and was moved by the golf course staff at the last minute onto the Lakeside nine instead of the nine that the team typically plays, the Meadows layout. However, everyone adjusted well, and it was important to keep the ball in play on a hot day in an event held on a dried-out golf course. Defending GMC Champions, the Lakota West Firebirds, were the victors in the Quad match with a team score of 150. Mason Green finished second with a score of 155; Mason White was third with a score of 171; and Fairfield finished fourth with a team total score of 180.
The Comets return to Shaker Run TODAY, Wednesday for their next match where they'll be competing against another league rival, Lakota East.
Mason will play Elder at Whitewater on Thursday, 8/29. |

| 8/28 | @ East at Shaker Run | |||||
| 8/29 | at Elder at Whitewater | On Thursday, August 29, the Comets Varsity Green Boys Golf Team played Elder in a 9-hole non-league match at Miami Whitewater Golf Course. It was a very hot afternoon on an unfamiliar golf course, and Mason was competing without its usual #3 and #4 players, but the Comets left the course with a great score of 151 and a 6-stroke victory in the match over a formidable opponent.
Leading the way for the Comets was senior Ben Morneau. Playing on his 18th birthday, the recently-named Mason High School Athlete of the Week was steady throughout the match. He overcame a three putt on the first green with 3 birdies later in the round to take medalist honors with a score of 34 (-2) on the front nine at Whitewater. Senior Thomas Niere was close behind him with an even-par 36. Senior Brooks Gholz, playing in his first-ever match on Varsity Green, contributed a steady round of 40, while two other seniors, Carson Hendy and Blake Lockhart, recorded scores of 41. Sophomore Jaxson Hutzelman shot a 42 for Mason's sixth score.
The Comets now have 5 days off from competition before playing in the Greater Miami Conference tournament next week on Wednesday and Thursday, September 4th and 5th, at 8:30 am each morning at Walden Ponds Golf Club. The stakes at this event are high, as the league team standings for the entire season are determined solely by the result of this 36-hole tournament. All-conference individual honors for 1st- and 2nd-team All-GMC will also be determined by the individual results across this two-day event. |

| 9/4 | GMC at Walden | FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Mason Boys Golfers Win the GMC Championship at Walden Ponds The Mason Comets Boys Golf Team clinched their fourth GMC title in five seasons on September 4th and 5th at Walden Ponds. After placing third in 2023, the Comets surged ahead of defending champions Lakota West to capture their fifth overall title. This year’s GMC Tournament took place earlier than usual due to adjustments in the statewide schedule, specifically the Cincinnati West Sectional, which includes four GMC schools. The Comets’ rigorous schedule, featuring nine 18-hole tournaments before the GMC event, prepared them well for the challenge. Lakota West, returning with most of their starting lineup, appeared poised to defend their title. However, Mason took the lead by the end of the front nine on Day 1 and gradually extended it over both days. Mason posted their best 18-hole score of the season on Day 1, recording a team score of 291, securing a 4-stroke lead over Lakota West. They repeated the 291 on Day 2, widening the margin to 17 strokes to clinch the title. Senior Ben Morneau led the Comets, shooting back-to-back rounds of 2-under-par 70, finishing second individually with a total of 140. Senior Thomas Niere followed closely with rounds of 71 and 72, placing third overall. Junior Curtis Crimmins bounced back from an opening 75 to shoot a final round of 70, tying for fourth with a total of 145. Senior Blake Ernst contributed rounds of 75 and 79, while senior Blake Lockhart posted scores of 76 and 79. All five Comets golfers earned 1st-team All-GMC honors for finishing in the top 12 individually. Senior Carson Hendy shot rounds of 82 and 86, securing a tie for 21st place and earning 2nd-team All-GMC honors. Head Coach Keith Brackenridge was named the GMC 2024 Coach of the Year. Next, the Comets will face a busy schedule with three 18-hole tournaments in the next four days: in Findlay on Saturday, Glenview on Sunday, and the Kettering Alter Invitational in Dayton on Monday. With the GMC Tournament results finalizing the league standings, Mason’s Boys Golf Team will add 11 points toward the All-Sports Trophy. The Comets will now focus on preparing for the challenging Cincinnati East Sectional Tournament at Glenview Golf Course on September 25th, where four teams will advance to the District meet in October at Pipestone Golf Club in Dayton.

The Comets shot a team score of 300 and finished 3rd in a 12-team field featuring teams from Cincinnati, Columbus, Toledo and Cleveland. Cincinnati St. Xavier was first with a tournament-record score of 288, while Dublin Jerome was second with a score of 295.
Leading the way for Mason was the team's #4 player, senior Blake Ernst. Blake putted extremely well on unfamiliar greens and finished with a score of 71 (-1) and in a 3-way tie for 2nd place in the 60-player field. Senior Thomas Niere had the team's next best score of 75, while senior Ben Morneau and junior Curtis Crimmins each shot 77 to round out the team's "best 4 of 5" scoring.

The players and coach enjoyed a formal dinner - coat and tie required - provided in the clubhouse by the Findlay Country Club members after the event. Attached picture shows the players outside the FCC clubhouse following the tournament. Left to Right are Ben Morneau (12), Blake Ernst (12), Curtis Crimmins (11), Thomas Niere (12) and Jaxson Hutzelman (10).
The Comets tee it up again this afternoon at 1:30 at Glenview Golf Course in the Hadley Invitational hosted by the Greater Cincinnati Golf Association.

| 9/8 | Hadley Invite | On Sunday, September 8, the Mason Comets Boys Varsity Green Golf Team played in the Hadley Classic Tournament sponsored by the Greater Cincinnati Golf Association and held at Glenview Golf Course. The Comets were the champions of the 2023 event (their only tournament victory of that season). Mason posted a team score of 302 and won a hard-fought victory over the Anderson Raptors, who also had a team score of 302, via the 5th man's score of 79 for Mason vs. 80 for Anderson - a successful title defense for Mason!
The team's low score belonged to senior Blake Lockhart with a one-over-par round of 73. Senior Thomas Niere shot 75; senior Ben Morneau had 76; senior Blake Ernst scored 78; and finally, junior Curtis Crimmins posted the team's 5th score of 79 that allowed them to win on the tie breaker.

||||
| 9/9 | Alter Invite | On Monday, September 9, the Mason Boys Varsity Green Golf Team traveled to Dayton to participate in the Kettering Alter Invitational at Miami Valley Golf Club. The team encountered a difficult, dried-out golf course with severely sloped greens. The Comets persevered to an 8th place finish in a field of 21 teams. With the Comets playing their 5th 18-hole tournament round in the last 6 days, a few players were able to get a spot in the lineup for their first 18-hole event of the year. Senior Aiden Huss finished best among those 3 players with a score of 89, while sophomore Josh Morneau and senior Brooks Gholz each shot 93 for the Comets.
Seniors Ben Morneau and Thomas Niere were in their usual locations for Mason, playing in the #1 and #2 lineup spots. Ben recorded a steady round of 72(+1) at Miami Valley, navigating the sloped greens with consistent putting. He finished in a tie for 1st place in the 105-player field and received a plaque as the runner-up medalist on the day via a score card playoff. Thomas recorded a wild round of 75(+4) - one in which he was +8 at one point in the round before posting 4 birdies to bring his score back to only 4 over par. The round of 75 was good enough for an individual T3 finish among 105 players.
Mason tees it up next this Wednesday, September 11, in a Quad Match at Shaker Run Golf Club at 4:00 pm. The opponents in that match will be Sycamore, LaSalle and Mason White. |
