AVON - Sometimes the biggest triumphs are born of disappointments.
That's been the case for Avon's boys golf team.
Last season didn't end the way the Eagles wanted, losing the Southwestern Conference championship to Olmsted Falls and failing to make it out of sectionals.
This year under the leadership of senior Hunter McCourt and with the additional of junior Tim Mai to the varsity lineup, the Eagles are headed back in the right direction.
"We were a little disappointed in the way we finished last year," Eagles coach Jeff Stevens said. "It was a good year but we didn't reach our goals, we didn't win the SWC and we didn't advance our team to districts. We had the talent but we were inconsistent. You build off of that by learning from your mistakes from the year before and building on that."
McCourt has been a leader on and off the course this year. When he's not shooting a 74 to lead the Eagles to victory at the SWC Preview at Pine Hills, he's mentoring his younger teammates on how to become top-level golfers.
