CENTREVILLE — The Glen Oaks Community College golf team is looking to find its way back to the national tournament in the spring.
It won’t be easy, as head coach Ed Culp knows, because the team is replacing five sophomores from a group that reached the pinnacle tournament of community college golf last year.
Constantine graduate Gaven Lewis is hoping to help the Vikings get there once again. Earlier this year, he signed on to continue his academic and educational careers with Glen Oaks, a place that is obviously close to home for him.
Lewis decided to play baseball in his final season at Constantine High School, but he can still tee it up with the best of them. Culp said one of Lewis’ best attributes comes from the tee box.

“He hits it long, he’s a bomber and I love that. You don’t always have to be that guy, but we love that on our team,” Culp said of Lewis. “He fits in perfectly with us. We love having more local players on the team. I think it helps them bond and they can know each other prior to being with us.”
