Brody Calle, a senior on the Owen J. Roberts golf team, put together a solid 4-over-par 74 over a tough Philmont Country Club North Course layout to capture a Philadelphia Section PGA Junior Tour victory in the 16-to-18 division Aug. 13.

Thanks to an update from Malvern Prep head coach Gary Duda, I can report that DiDomenico's older brother Michael, a junior, tied for the second-best score among the Friars with a 2-over 37 on the front nine of Stonewall’s North Course in Monday’s Squabble at Stonewall to help Malvern Prep capture the team title with a 186 total.

Ahn helped the Pioneers finish in fourth place in the PIAA Class AAA team chase last fall.
