The Jonathan Law golf team has high hopes this season and is looking forward to the rest of its future matches. 

“We are a young team this year and major goals involve getting the underclassmen as much match experience as possible with our experienced players,” golf coach Mr. Koorejian said. 

The golf team plays some of the top high school teams in Connecticut this year. These teams include Fairfield Prep, Xavier, Hand and Notre Dame-West Haven.

“The last few seasons, we have done quite well in the Tier 3 of the SCC so we were moved up to Tier 2,” Koorejian said. “We now play the top teams like Prep, Xavier, Hand and ND. Also, most of the starting team graduated in 2019, so we’re starting brand new this season with a few returning players and some new talent.” 

The golf team had many key players graduate last year and are in the process of rebuilding and learning for the future. 

“They will be playing against some of the best players in the state and that will be one of the best coaching experiences for them as well, Koorejian said.” We have steadily improved in each match so far so we’re on the right track. 

Members of the team said they are focused on getting better throughout the season.

“As long as you put your head in the game, you can achieve anything and everything,” senior Dominic Purilli said.

Returning players are this year and seniors Joe Mester, Dom Pirulli, Anthony DiFederico, and junior Anthony Fino. Other golfers that have contributed in matches so far are freshmen Jaden Archuleta and Mike Chesson and sophomore Dylan Soule.
