Juniors Logan Borns and Thomas Loeffler are projected to be the teamâs top golfers, he said.
âThey have experience going back two years ago,â Demske said. Loeffler saw varsity experience as a freshman, and Borns has put in work during the off-season to get better.
Seniors Noah Dapp and Colton Weimer have two years of experience.
Filling in the number five spot will be the key, with senior Brady Cook and freshman Jacob Borns as possibilities.
Isaac Wright, projected to be one of the teamâs top players, is out for the season due to an ACL injury, Demske said.
In some cases, that meant canceling events such as the Heritage Days Festival and Garrett Alumni Reunion.
The annual alumni golf outing still took place, and school leaders throughout DeKalb County worked with county health officials to determine how to conduct in-person classes.
Safety accommodations were in effect that enabled a new queen to be crowned at the annual Miss Garrett pageant.
This article looks back at news events in July and August.
July
As COVID-19 wreaked havoc on nearly every aspect of society in 2020, the Garrett-Keyser-Butler school district invited parents to complete a survey regarding plans for re-entry plans for the upcoming school year.
GARRETT â Garrettâs wrestling program has been one of the most formidable in the Northeast Corner Conference, and has left its stamp on the conference the past two years.
This yearâs edition finished 18-3 in dual meets, repeating as NECC regular season and meet champions, as well as back-to-back sectional and regional champions.
The Railroaders sent a school-record nine wrestlers to this yearâs semi-state meet at the Allen County Memorial Coliseum, with freshman Chase Leech and sophomore Hayden Brady qualifying for the state finals. It was Bradyâs second trip to the state meet.
This year, the wrestling program added a new achievement, capturing the Class 2A Indiana High School Wrestling Coaches Association Team State championship, defeating Western, Jimtown and Bellmont to win the team title.
HUNTERTOWN â Less suspense, more pictures.
Garrettâs wrestlers defended their sectional title by a point and a half over host Carroll last week, and were back to try for a second straight regional crown.
This time, the Railroaders put six wrestlers in championship matches and three more in consolations, and repeated as regional winners with 137 points, leaving the host Chargers behind with 103. Then came Leo at 98 ½ and Columbia City at 85.
That means two color team photos outside the Garrett gym, an honor reserved for teams that win regional championships.
âThey never hung up our last one,â Garrett coach Nick Kraus said. âOur athletic director, Chris DePew, told me last week, âGo out and win another one so we can put up two pictures at the same time.â Definitely some motivation to get back-to-back pictures on the school wall.â
