The Francis Howell community is like no other. 2006 alum & PGA Tour winner Adam Long was nice enough to send a video wishing the guys good luck tomorrow and Tuesday at State. He’s got some great advice. Thanks Adam Long for your support this week and throughout the years!

The guys checking out Adam Long’s video during the practice round today.

60+ teams in Class 5 compete for the MSHSAA Class 5 State Championship. Francis Howell gave it all & finished 5th in the largest class in Missouri at State. Every tournament this year they showed they're one of the top teams in the state. A 5th place finish just confirmed that.

The guys played well Day 1 & shot 304. They weren't happy & knew there was more left in the tank. We talked about how we would play better day 2. What did they do? They shot 289 Day 2 (+1 as team). The greatest round in Howell Golf history on a day when pressure was it highest.

Its hard for the boys to see all of the positives when every goal isn't achieved. But to put things in perspective: They had the 5th GREATEST 18 hole round in MSHSAA State Championship History on Day 2 (289). It's the 2nd best public school score in MSHSAA championship history

We had the 12th greatest 36 hole score in MSHSAA Championship history (+17). We preach controlling what you can control. We can't control weather, breaks, or other teams play. We can only control how we play. When the chips were down these guys put up an all-time great effort.

The team played awesome individually as well. All 5 golfers shot 70s or better in both rounds. All 5 were in top 64 golfers in tourney. 8th: Kolton Kijanko (72/69) 28th: Ethan Mottert (78/70) 47th: Cohen Vierling (79/73) 57th: Isaac Kelley (77/77) 64th: Nick Halterman (77/79)

Another amazing stat: Over last 3 weeks we had GACs, Districts, & 2 State rounds. Every single golfer shot 70s or better in those high pressure tourneys. In golf we play 5 & count 4 best scores in round. Every golfer has a score that was counted in our top 4 over last 3 weeks.

Sophomore Kolton Kijanko finished 8th overall at State in the greatest scoring individual field in MSHSAA history Kolton earned All-State honors shooting -3 overall, the best State score in Francis Howell history He is the 9th Howell All-State golfer since 2008 & 3rd since 2022

I've shared a lot of stats/accomplishments about the guys on course An underrated part of State though is experiences off the course We made memories, had fun, & enjoyed the moments They represented Howell with class & there's no other team I'd rather share these memories with

As the season comes to a close we want to recognize the 5 seniors Nick Aquilina Cole Brewer Jason Rhomberg Jonah Vaughn Parker Williams They have been leaders on & off the course. They’re exactly who you want representing Howell Thank you for all you have done for the program!

Congratulations to 2024 grad Colin Pini. He is at Mineral Area College & finished 15th at the 2025 NJCAA DII Men's Golf Championship. He is a 2nd Team All-American & also made the All-Tournament team. Great job Colin Pini!

First night of Summer feeder golf! Excited to see all the young men and women working to get better. Also very thankful for the high school kids pitching in as counselors. #GrowTheGame

There’s no offseason in high school golf. The work for next season starts now and our boys have been busy this summer. 10+ guys have already played tournaments and several have played at least four so far. Proud of the work being put in! #NeverStopWorking
