Junior William Yahne started playing for the golf team for the “passion to play a sport where there was competition and strategy.” Yahne’s biggest supporter is the team’s coach, Mr. Frederick Russell. “[Russell] is always there making [Yahne] a better player everyday and always having faith in [him] and pushing [him] harder,” Yahne said. Russell described Yahne as, “Consistent, [passionate] for the game and a good example for the team.” Yahne’s motivation when he has a bad practice or game is when he realizes “getting another chance to refresh and start over on the next hole to do better” will get him through.
