Connolly staked her claim as the states best golfer with two sparkling performances in the postseason. At the individual state championship, she held off Erin Boyle in a playoff after shooting a 78. A week earlier ,at the team championships, where her Duxbury team finished third, Connolly set a course and tournament record by shooting a 5-under-par 66. But Connolly is no stranger to accolades. This is her third consecutive All-Scholastic selection and she has two runner-up finishes at the New England championships to her credit.

Coaches of the year
Bill Corley, Bishop Fenwick
|
||
![]() |
If theres a group of seniors that should be appreciative of their coach, its the boys golfers at Bishop Fenwick High School. The players not only made the state tournament all four years under Corley, but also left on a perfect note with a 9-1 league record this year (10-2 overall). Corley, in his fifth year in charge of the Fenwick team (43-17 record), wont forget his talented group either, calling them a great bunch of players and a real pleasure to work with.

Quite a bit has changed from Year 1 to Year 2 of Weisss tenure. Last season, Weisss first as Hingham head coach, his team finished 8-10 and failed to make it to the state finals tournament. But a year made a big difference. Hingham finished fourth in the team standings this year and that finish will certainly make perennial power, neighbor Notre Dame Academy, take notice of whats going on at the other side of town. Weiss, 35, is a 1994 graduate of Catholic University and played for the schools golf team. In his free time, he enjoys golfing, fishing, and cooking. | |
