VANHORN HELPS JFK GET ON THE MAP

/in /by

WARREN OH- Warren JFK gets a lot of attention during the fall sports season. Although most of that attention usually falls to their football team that is state championship caliber.  However, no matter the sport, success brings eyes upon you. For the Eagles golf program they have found a bunch of success in 2022. One of the big reasons for that is their leader Bryce Vanhorn.  Vanhorn is statistically one of the best golfers in Trumbull county. One thing is for sure, he didn’t wake up and grab a club and all of sudden swing with precision.  Bryce works harder than just about anyone at his craft. With golf, that is so important. You’ll never be great if you don’t take it upon yourself to get better on your own. Bryce has never been shy to work hard. Now this season, he is being rewarded for his hard work with huge results.

Bryce took the time to come on to YSN’s Running Point and talk to Anthony Hartwig and DJ Yokley to talk about his season.  They also talk about what makes JFK such a special place, what his favorite thing about the sport of golf is, and much more. Take a swing with us and check out the latest Warren JFK Golf Player Profile only on YSN.
