The 2021 varsity BHS Golf Coaches' Award recipient is Brayden Grant!
When making this decision Coach Routhier stated: "I thought Brayden did a terrific job of being ready to practice and play every day and was willing to learn and ask questions about how to improve his game. As a coach, I also respected the fact that if he wasn't in the lineup for a match, he still attended and walked along with team members to cheer and support them. He is a gentleman to all and exemplified all the ideals a coach is looking for in a student-athlete!"

I enjoy hiking with my dad - we pick a new mountain every time we go. Fun to see the running list of all the different mountains we've hiked within New England. We are now starting to plan a hiking trip to Utah! I also enjoy fishing, kayaking, camping, and attending live sporting events.
