While the golf clubs are mostly used at indoor simulators these days, there’s always time to celebrate some of the Mid-Penn’s best golfers during the short fall season.
Below is PennLive’s 2025 boys golf All-Star team, starting with our player of the year and the remaining members of our first team. It’s a small but distinguished squad.
PennLive 2025 Boys Golfer of the Year
Luke McGraw, junior, State CollegeDuring another banner season for the Little Lions, McGraw stood as the most consistent and decorated golfer on SC’s loaded roster. The junior carried the only sub-70 scoring average in the MPC and finished runner-up with a 1-over 72 at the conference tournament. McGraw would later share the District 6 individual title and drive the Lions to a PIAA berth. He would finish tied for 9th at Penn State Blue while SC’s 287 team total was one stroke behind champion Unionville.

For starters, the Bubblers’ standout fired a 76 at Range End for a 12th-place finish at the MPC tournament. He added a 12th-place showing in districts and then managed a tie for 9th-place (74-72—146) at the state showcase at Penn State Blue.
