Paragould, AR- Head Coach Brady Flynn of the Crowley's Ridge College Pioneers Golf program put pen to paper this afternoon, adding Van Buren High School (MO) senior standout, Kale Burke, to the 2026-27 Pioneer roster. Burke marks the third freshman inked for next season, and brings a healthy list of accolades and accomplishments with him to the Ridge. 

For the Bulldogs, Burke has been an integral part of his high school program, serving as a leader for the team through not only his play on the green, but also his actions and character off the field. On the course, Burke enters his senior season with several honors, including All-District in 2023 & 2024, Individual State Qualifier in 2023 & 2024, and All-Conference honors in 2024. Alongside these prestigious awards, Burke most recently came off being named the Conference Player of the Year this past season (2024). We wish Kale and the rest of the Bulldogs good luck this coming Spring, in his final season at VBHS. 

Kale will join Coach Flynn and the rest of the Pioneers next August, where he will major in Business Management. We want to congratulate Kale on taking this next step in his athletic and academic career. 

Welcome to the Ridge! #FearTheNeer
