CHESTER – The Chester High School Golf Teams put it all together Monday September 22 to win their final home golf match of the 2025 season. The event featured the YellowJackets and the Trico Pioneers in a dual match. Tamms-Egyptian also entered two individuals in the varsity finale.
The day was a bit rainy at times, but not quite bad enough to force a cancellation or a postponement of the match. Temperatures were cool and the skies were mostly cloudy throughout the day. The moisture did, however, make the fairways and greens a bit softer and less dusty for the athletes.
The Jackets are coached by Clayton Andrews, the YellowJacket’s first-year man at the helm. Clayton Andrews. Andrews is a recent CHS golfer and has done a great job this year as a rookie Head Coach.
Andrews said, “I was extremely proud of the way the boys played today. It wasn’t ideal conditions with some rain off-and-on, but they battled through it, breaking their season best team score by 10 strokes!”
“Trevin Eggemeyer had a great round of 1-under par to lead the varsity. The boys are figuring things out at the right time, and hopefully can keep it rolling with the approaching Cahokia Conference Tournament and the 2025 IHSA Class 1A Regional Tournament just around the corner.”
Chester will compete in the 2025 Cahokia Conference Tournament Wednesday September 24 at Governor’s Run in Carlyle. This will be a varsity only event. The 2025 IHSA Class 1A Regional Tournament is scheduled for Wednesday October 1 at Cobden. The 2025 IHSA Class 1A Sectional Tournament is Monday October 6 at West Frankfort. The 2025 IHSA Class 1A State Tournament is Friday October 10.
