Millikan Boys Golf is teeing up for greatness! This season the Boys Varsity Golf team defeated Wilson, handing the Bruins their first loss in Moore League play in nineteen years. Although Millikan fell short of the Moore League title, they had a successful season finishing 7-1 overall.
“I would rate our season very highly, I think we crushed expectations and surprised a lot of people,” said QUEST junior and Varsity golfer Danny Anderson.
They defeated Wilson and broke their streak on Apr. 2 by a score of 197-205 (both team’s golfers combined score) and had four golfers shoot an impressive 39 strokes (the amount of shots it took to finish all nine holes, the lowest score wins).
Anderson adds, “We all felt pure euphoria when we beat Wilson, this was my first year on the team but the rest of the guys had been a part of [Willson’s] winning streak at some point, and putting an end to it is something we are really proud of.”
The Millikan golfers participated in the CIF playoffs on May 20th: a 20-team, one-day tournament. The team that shoots the best through 18 holes is the champion of their CIF division. Millikan’s division four CIF tournament was held at the Los Serranos golf course in Chino Hills where Millikan finished with a score of 390 compared to Woodbridge high school who placed first with a score of 373.
Varsity had a great season and proved they’re getting better every year. Even though they didn’t win the Moore League title, they finished strong heading into CIF. We’re looking forward to seeing what they accomplish next year!

On May 27, 2025, Tyler Paige wrote an article titled “Millikan Boys’ golf is teeing up for greatness”. Paige goes on to show different stats that the Millikan Boys golf team had throughout the 2025 season. I like how Paige goes into detail about how Millikan broke Wilsons winning streak “by a score of 197-205.” Even though Paige did a fantastic job in explaining how his team surprised expectations I would have liked him to go into further detail about how the golf system works since I’m not familiar with the scoring system, especially in CIF. The article does have quotes from another team member Daniel Anderson who states how he would rate our season very highly, and how he believed that they surprised a lot of people. To sum up, Paige showed love and commitment to the sport throughout the article showing he is ready for the challenges next year might have to offer.

On May 27th, 2025, Tyler Paige wrote an article called “Millikan Boy’s golf is teeing up for greatness.” detailing the successful season that the team had. Paige states that they finished the season with a highly respectable 7-1 record, although they did not win the Moore League title. Along with this highly successful record, the team also broke Wilson’s winning streak after a close match of 197-205. Paige interviews one of the golfers on the team Daniel Anderson, who was a Junior in QUEST and a big contributor to the success Varsity had. Anderson illustrated the pride and happiness the team felt after beating Wilson and the success they had during the season. Paige continued to highlight how the team could still have even more success as the team got ready to participate in the CIF tournament on May 20th. Paige does a great job effectively summarizing the Boy’s golf season and the success they had. He also gets insight from a player on the team on how they felt thanks to the quotes he got from Anderson. However, the addition of insight from another player may have helped add to the detail of this article. Overall, this article does a great job of describing the success Millikan Boy’s golf had this year.

On May 27, 2025, Tyler Paige wrote an article titled “Millikan Boys’ golf is teeing up for greatness”. Paige does a good job documenting the season of the boys’ golf team. Paige was misinformed stating that the team fell short of the Moore League title. In actuality, they tied with the Wilson Bruins for first place. Paige also could have gone into greater detail when describing the make-up of Wilson’s so-called “streak”, offering that they went eighteen years without a loss in a league match. Paige’s article also contains multiple spelling errors that should have been caught before its release. Paige effectively documents the boys golf team’s CIF tournament experience, while also displaying a graphic that makes it very easy to visualize how the team did against the rest of the competition. Paige could have also mentioned how the boys did in the Moore League Individual tournament and the CIF Individual tournament.

Dear Corydon Editor,
On May 27th, 2025, Tyler Paige wrote an article titled “Millikan Boys’ Golf Is Teeing Up For Greatness.” I enjoyed the storyline of Millikan finally ending Wilson’s winning streak and how it was presented alongside the interview. I am concerned about the scoring system however. Although the basics were explained, I am somewhat confused on how the team score was calculated. A suggestion I could make that may enhance the article is a few more sentences that go into explaining the CIF format for golfing and how the scoring system functions. It was shocking learning that we came second in the playoffs, but I find it also a very exciting thing, and I anticipate where golf, among our other sports divisions at Millikan, will proceed in the following years, both in the preparation before the season, and during the Moore League and CIF divisions. I do wonder: how did the golf team respond when learning they got second place in their division for the playofffs?

On May 27, 2025, Tyler Paige wrote an article titled “Millikan Boys’ golf is teeing up for greatness”. This article brought me a sense of joy when reading. The comments from team golfer Danny Anderson really shows the comradery and bond this team has which helped lead them to their state title. When it was mentioned that they broke Wilsons winning streak I felt a sense of accomplishment and happiness for the team itself and I wasn’t even a part of it. These boys worked hard all season and it showed when it mattered most. I really wish the article featured more team golfers and what they had to say about the matter but overall the article was pleasant to read. I love how we got to see a picture of the score sheet and see Millikan’s score in comparison and how every golfer contributed to their big win. I really enjoyed reading this article. It was a good one.

On May 27, 2025, Tyler Paige wrote an article titled “Millikan Boys’ Golf is teeing up for greatness”. The article is all about Millikan Golf breaking the 19 year win streak that the Wilson Bruins had in Moore League. It is great to be apart of history in a positive manner. The kids on the team accomplished something for the first time in over 19 years and hopefully can not allow a future win streak from the Bruins. Golfer Daniel Anderson chimes in when he says “We all felt pure euphoria when we beat Wilson” also adding how it was his first year on the team but the others had all experience the losing streak to Wilson. Though Golf is normal perceived as an individual sport the hunger of the team to strive to be better as well as the addition of new golfers that can contribute is a great environment to be in an can only help our golf team continue to grow and improve.

Dear Corydon Editor,
On May 27, 2025, Tyler Paige wrote an article titled “Millikan Boy’s golf is teeing up for greatness”. Paige’s article does an excellent job highlighting the success of Millikan’s boys golf. This allows for readers unfamiliar with the golf team to recognize and celebrate their success. I was also personally unaware of the dominance this year’s golf team held over the rest of the Moore league. Additionally, I applaud Paige for using personal comments from members of the golf team. This adds character and sheds light onto the thoughts and feelings of the team after their successful season. For example, Daniel Anderson’s statements on his feeling after their season shows how much the players dedicate to the game and how much this winning season means to them something the audience wouldn’t have known if not added. Paige’s piece undoubtedly provides an interesting insight into the golf team’s successes and illustrates the importance of winning for them.
