Teams Featured Consistent Success Throughout Fall
 The fall golf season wrapped up for Carroll last month, and coach Matt Glenn said he was pleased with what he saw from his teams.
The boys and girls teams had a number of top five finishes, and Glenn said he thinks his players made a lot of progress along the way.
"Overall, I think the fall went well," Glenn said. "We got some things accomplished. We had some young kids really step up, and overall, it just turned out well."
The boys took fifth place in the Highland Park Invitational as well as second at Indian Creek, second in the Lubbock McDonald’s Invitational, fifth place in the Fall State Preview, fourth at the Tiger Classic in College Station and second in a tournament hosted by Texas High School in Texarkana.
The girls team finished second at the Old Brickyard in Ferris, third in the Lubbock McDonald’s Invitational, fourth at Bridlewood and fifth at Indian Creek, Iron Horse, April Sound and Harbor Lakes in Granbury.
Glenn said no single tournament showing stands out as being particularly impressive, but said he has been impressed with what his team has accomplished on a different front this season.
"One was not really more special than the other," Glenn said. "I think the team kind of came together more as a full unit than it ever has in the past, though. We’ve got some good leaders that are taking initiative, and we are headed in the right direction."
Glenn said he has had a couple of players have especially strong falls, as well.
"Thomas Birdsey has played really well," Glenn said. "Peter Mladenovic is another young man who has played well. Thomas Birdsey is going to Kansas State. Peter Mladenovic just signed with Texas Tech.
"On the girls side, Kailey Glenn played well. Lindsey Alexander, who is a senior for us played very well, also. She just signed with Cameron [University]. We’ve got three young people right now who have signed early, and are ready to start rocking for the spring."
Glenn said he believes that things are shaping up well for the spring season, as well.
"I think we are going to have an awesome spring season," Glenn said. "The kids are really focused. They know what we are trying to get accomplished, and everybody is working hard.
"From a coach’s standpoint, I think that things are falling into the place, and the team is meshing well and everybody is supporting each other, and we’re looking forward to the spring."
