The 2009 Minster boys golf team pose with their Division III state championship trophy after winning the title at The Ohio State University Scarlet Course. The title is the first - and to this point only - state golf team title for a Midwest Athletic Conference team. Members of the team are, from left, head coach Mike Griner, Austin Fischer, Ben Hogenkamp, Adam Sherman, Craig Purpus, Oliver Weaver, Sam Phlipot and coach John Stechschulte.
