The Brophy College Prep golf team tees off Wednesday at the AIA Division I State Championships at Aguila Golf Course.
The Broncos enter the tournament as the favorite in the Division I field. Brophy won eight dual matches, the Brophy Rodeo in August and the Peaks Invitational last month in Flagstaff. The Broncos were the runner-up at the Brophy Invitational behind Division II state champ Notre Dame Prep.
A Washington State commit, senior Dylan Boening returns for his third state championship appearance. He helped the Broncos win the title in 2022 and place second in 2023. He was 14th overall at 144.
Sophomores Asher Nelson and Evan Tyree will compete in their second state tournaments, while sophomore Jack Langbein and freshman Hank Miller will be in their first.
Brophy starts at 9:00 a.m. with Boenning, followed every 10 minutes by Nelson, Tyree, Langbein and Miller.
This morning, Brophy College Preparatory proudly hosted its New Student Convocation, a cherished tradition that prayerfully welcomes new students and their families into the Brophy community. This year’s convocation was particularly special, as it marked the arrival of the Class of 2028, coinciding with the school’s centennial year, as well as the Loyola Academy Scholar Class of 2031.
The ceremony included a prayerful reflection, highlighting the school’s commitment to faith and the Jesuit tradition. The event concluded with a blessing for the new students and their families, setting a positive and hopeful tone for the years to come. As the Class of 2028 begins its journey at Brophy, and the Loyola Academy Scholars continue their academic path, they do so with the full support of the Brophy community.
Brophy College Preparatory marked the beginning of the school year with the annual Back to School Bash, a signature event designed to foster connections between the incoming Class of 2028 and their Big Brothers. The event was a tremendous success, offering a day filled with activities aimed at building camaraderie and community.
Students participated in a variety of water-themed activities, with the highlight being the giant water slides set up on Brophy’s baseball field. The pool area was also a popular spot, providing a refreshing way to celebrate the start of the new academic year. Lively music, engaging games and a festive atmosphere contributed to a day of smiles and new friendships.
It’s clear that the students are ready for an exciting year ahead
