Matt Vitale led the Lions with great performances in the 2006 Regionals (74) and Sectionals (71).  He  has won (10) local junior events in past Summers.  His matching rounds of 76 at last year's State Finals were a great mark of consistency. This past Summer he advanced to the quarterfinals in the Chick Evans Memorial Tournament beating the tournament medalist in the opening round.

Brad Klune holds the school's low scoring record (67) and finished in the top 5 in five out of six invitationals in 2007.  He was outstanding this past Summer on the AJGA Tour earning Fully Exempt status in future tournaments for the duration of his high school career.  On day 2 of the IHSA Finals in 2007, Brad went out early and posted a great round of 75 that started the team on a roll to their State Championship. 

Danny Stringfellow shot 31 (-5) for nine holes last year, and another 31(-6) this season setting school records.   He is the reigning Illinois State Junior Amateur champion having beat the top juniors in the state this past Summer at Makray Memorial Golf Course.    He is a veteran with many other junior victories including wins at Whistling Straights (FCWT), Medinah Shriners Invitational(IJGA) and Golf Channel's National Drive, Pitch and Putt.  In 2007, Danny won the Viator Invite(67), Wheeling Wildcat Invite(72), and prestigious Zee-Bee Invite(73).  He also captured the 2007 Regional Championship(72) at Buffalo Grove, and was 2nd in the 2007 Sectionals at Old Orchard. 

Joe Carlson is now the reigning IJGA Player of the Year based on his strong 2008 Summer campaign.  This Summer he finished in 2nd at the Illinois State Junior Amateur right behind Danny and capped his Summer with a win in the season ending Tournament of Champions by shooting 68-69.  In 2007 he was a finalist in the prestigious Chick Evans Championship which began with over 400 golfers at the start.   He captured the 2007 Sectional Championship with a high school career best of 70 at Old Orchard Country Club.  This represented the first time in the school's history that a Lion golfer won a Sectional Medalist title. 

Junior Joe Ferrari is starting on the varsity after he led last year's frosh soph team throughout the year.  Joe capped his 2007 MVP season with a 76 in the Viator Invitational placing him 3rd in a field of over 100 players.

Sophomore Kenny Wienckowski is the surprise of 2008.  Last season on the Frosh/Soph he had mild success but has emerged as a varsity mainstay after a Winter of hard work began to pay off on the IJGA tour this past Summer.  He shot four consecutive rounds in the 70's with a low round of 74 and has not looked back since.  This Fall has started quickly for him as well with rounds of 78 and 75 in his first two varsity tournaments earning medals in both.

Also competing at the varsity level are Chad Holsworth, Pat Schuetz, Brian Keefe, Nick Trapani, Lucas Underys, Mario Cuttone and Dom Zanfardino.

By winning the 2007 State Championship, the Lions culminated their season with 10 consecutive tournament wins.  The only time this was accomplished previously was in 1991 by St Charles High School under coach Rob Prentiss.  The Lions two day score of 600 was the third lowest in IHSA Tournament history.   Leading up to the State Tournament Series, the Lions won 6 consecutive Tournaments, including Rockford Boylan, Viator, Inverness, Zee Bee, Biltmore and Wildcat Invitationals.   They then made it nine (9) in a row by capturing the ESCC at Traditions of Chevy Chase, Regionals at Buffalo Grove, and Sectionals at Old Orchard.  These championships were their 4th straight Conference, 3rd consecutive Regional, and 2nd consecutive Sectional championships.
