Berlin girls golf: Two decades of dominance
MUCH TO CELEBRATE
By Robert Mayer Special to The Citizen
The late Jim Day, longtime wrestling coach and director of athletics at Berlin High School, would often hear people refer to Berlin as a “baseball town” or a “football town.” But in Day’s mind, there was no doubt that Berlin was actually a “golf town.”
Over the last 20 years, the BHS girls golf program has claimed six state championships – including in 2022 and 2023 – and finished second at the state tournament three times. During that same period, the BHS boys golf team has collected eight state titles and two runner-up finishes.
The facts bear this out.
