The fairways of the North Country are about to come alive. In less than a week, the high school golf season swings into action, marking the start of a fresh chapter for local teams and athletes. As courses prepare to host a new season of competition, the focus shifts to the rosters and the potential they hold.

Here’s a preview of the teams that have submitted their lineups, offering a first look at the returning talent and promising newcomers set to take the tee. For any teams not listed, rosters can still be submitted to ensure accurate season coverage.

For AuSable Valley, Coach John Hickey is banking on team spirit. "Enthusiasm is our biggest strength," he says, noting his athletes are eager to build on last season. The challenge will be filling key spots, as inexperience is a noted weakness with three of the top six positions open. The Patriots' squad includes Oliver Dorr, Aiden Blaise, Luke Garcia, Farrah Goodman, Bryely Ryan-Beane, and Carter Gainer.

Over at Beekmantown, the Eagles are blending experience with new blood. With eight returning players bolstered by two newcomers, the roster features Abe Witherwax, Lukas Burns, Jaxston Fuller, Ashtin Blaise, George Mudd, and Lukas Lawrence.

Chazy brings a core of seasoned competitors to the green. Coach Brian Cross highlights the return of four golfers who played every match last year, though he notes the back end of the lineup will be young. The team looks to Chris Demarais, Jaden Mero, Dane Spring, Silas Reeder, and Kaisen Steitz to lead the way.

At Northeastern Clinton, Coach Matt Fredette sees a clear strength in his top three, who boast solid scoring averages. The test will be depth, as only two returners have significant match experience, putting pressure on new players to step up immediately. The Cougars' lineup includes Colton Castine, Nathan Dupee, Carter Fredette, Maxx Rabideau, Logan Tremblay, Ashton Turner, and Evan Watson.

Peru presents one of the largest and most diverse rosters, featuring a deep bench of athletes like Kevin Castine, Seth Rabideau, Scott Wrye, and a host of others including Maddie Arno and Gideon Merrill, showing the growing appeal of the sport.

Finally, Saranac's group, with Greyson Lafountain, Joyce Andrew, Cole Dragoon, Camden Lafond-Boutin, and William Lafountain, is poised to compete. Coach Ryon O’Connell points to a strong top of the lineup, suggesting the Chiefs could be a team to watch as the season unfolds.

As these golfers prepare their drives and putts, the stage is set for a season of growth, competition, and standout performances across the North Country.
