Also at state are Chagrin Falls, Chardon Notre Dame-Cathedral Latin, Cincinnati Wyoming, Galion, Gallipolis Gallia Academy, Mentor Lake Catholic, Ottawa Hills, Thornville Sheridan and Van Buren. “Brady has worked extremely hard since his freshman year and has gotten better each year and it’s exciting to see his hard work pay off,” Jonathan Alder coach Mitch Koester said. “He joined The Golf Room Junior Academy after last season and has gained some distance off the tee to go along with his great ball-striking and short game. I’m excited for Brady to go out and compete at a high level with some of the best golfers in the state.
