The Madison Blue Streaks enter the 2025 season with experience, depth, and aspirations of competing for a conference title.
After a 13-7 campaign last fall, sixth-year head coach Pat Moran believes his squad can be in the mix for the Chagrin Valley Conference Lake Division championship.
“I can see us competing for a conference championship, but there are a few teams in the conference that have the same idea,” Moran said. “We have three golfers that we are confident can go low in any matches. We need those other three to go out and get us another low score we can use.”
Leading the charge is senior Logan Mullins, a first-team All-CVC Lake Division pick.
“He has been a staple of our program the last few years,” Moran said. “He really has improved over those years. We’re looking for him to continue to be one of our horses.”
Fellow senior Mason Elliott, a second-team All-CVC honoree, will be counted on for consistency.
“He was a consistent scorer for us last year,” Moran said. “We expect him to continue to take his scores lower because of the work he has put in this summer.”
Senior Evan Smith, also a second-team All-CVC honoree, provides another steady option in the lineup.
“Consistency is going to be the most important thing with Evan,” Moran said. “He has the ability to score well.”
Junior Brady Ellsworth, an All-CVC Honorable Mention performer, looks to take the next step.
“He made great strides last year on varsity, and he only got better this summer with the work he put in,” Moran said.
The team also features a rising star in freshman Jacobb Duaso, who could make an immediate impact.
“He potentially could be one of the best in our program’s history,” Moran said. “I don’t mind putting that pressure on him because ‘no pressure, no diamonds’ when it comes to golf. He’s a golf junkie and we look to be using his scores quite a bit this year.”
Juniors Easton Washlock and Jake Pekar are battling for the final varsity spot.
“I expect these two to compete for that sixth spot,” Moran said. “Both have done a great job of getting better this summer.”
With a veteran core and promising young talent, Madison is poised to make noise in the CVC this fall.
