He led his team to the state title in 2004 and to second place finishes in both 2003 and 2005 and individually was second at the state tournament in 2004.

Berntein has enjoyed a standout career at Conestoga High School where hecaptured the District I title in a playoff last fall and led the team to the District I team title. He also won the Central League title, led his team to team title, and was named the Central League Golfer of the Year.
