Seniors Stay Perfect!

Apple Valley, CA - The Apple Valley Golf Club wrapped up its MRL season with an impressive perfect record of 10-0, following their victory over Sultana on Senior Day. The Devils posted a score of 187 to 234. Carson Hamilton and Kaden Akins led the Sun Devils in scoring, each shooting a 36.

The Sun Devils are now awaiting their CIF seeding and will participate in the team finals on May 19 at a location to be determined.

The senior class of 2025 at Apple Valley High School has had an incredible four years. Brady, Carson, Kaden, and Maddy have achieved an impressive overall record of 46 wins and 11 losses, along with a remarkable league record of 38 wins, one draw, and one loss. They secured three Mojave River League golf titles and came close to winning a fourth. Additionally, they finished as runners-up and placed sixth in the CIF championships. They broke a 27-year-old team scoring record on four separate occasions while setting numerous individual records.

Beyond their athletic achievements, these students have demonstrated exceptional character. They have worked hard on the golf course and put even more effort into the classroom. They accomplished so much through their talent, dedication, and work ethic. Win or lose, they did it with grace and dignity.

They are not just exceptional athletes but also role models for their peers. Their kindness, respect, and work ethic set a high standard for their teammates. Working with them has been a pleasure, and their absence next year will be deeply felt.

I want to express my gratitude to Brady, Carson, Kaden, and Maddy for their unwavering dedication over the past four years. Your contribution has been instrumental in revitalizing Apple Valley Golf and bringing it back to its rightful place at the top of the leaderboard. I wish you all the best in your future endeavors, and may God bless you.
