DUNCAN, SC - While the girls' golf season officially started two weeks ago, the first big tournament of the year marking the true start of the season is the Lady Rebel Invitational at River Falls, which was won this season by the Dorman Cavaliers.
The Cavaliers won with a score of 314 and were led by tournament medalist Abby Franks who shot a tournament low score of 70 to earn the tournament individual medalist honor. Chapin finished second with a score of 317 followed by in order Byrnes (329), Lexington (329), and the defending 2A state champions Chesnee finished in 5th place with a score of 332, the highest finishing non-5A school. The Eagles were led by All-Tournament golfer Olivia Roberts, who finished in fourth place overall with a score of 72. She was joined on the All-Tournament team by Dorman's Abby Franks (70), Catawba Ridge's Ellen Zeolin (71), Blythewood's Ell Stalvey (71), Mauldin's Olivia Pellerin (73), Daniel's Peyton O'Brien (75), and Lexington's Brooke Burgess (75). While Chesnee head coach Kyle Scruggs was happy with his team's fifth place finish in such a talented field, he feels his team left some shots on the course. "We're proud of what we accomplished as everyone ahead of us are at the 5A level," said Scruggs. "While I'm pleased with what we done, I feel like we threw some shots away today. I'm happy with anything in that 330 range but I felt like we had the opportunity to do better today." He also said that he'll use the lessons learned from the tournament on Tuesday to help get his team be stronger for the end of the season. "We want them to learn to minimize the damage when they get into trouble," said Scruggs. "We struggled putting today and we'll need to focus on getting better in our short game and not letting one shot dictate what happens on other holes later on." Boiling Springs' Madison Dixon just missed making the All-Tournament team on Tuesday after shooting a score of 76 and the score was impressive after getting a double bogey and going plus five on the front nine was able to shoot one under on the back nine. She also won the award for the longest drive on Tuesday amongst a group of talented golfers. Another local golfer, Olivia Ireland, led Chapman on Thursday with a score of 81. Chesnee and Boiling Springs will be back in action on Thursday when the Eagles host a match with the Bulldogs at Meadowbrook Golf Course at 4:00 PM. CHESNEE VOLLEYBALL The Chesnee volleyball team went on the road to Broome on Thursday night and struggled to get momentum as they fell to the Centurions 3-0 (15-25, 19-25, 7-25). While the Eagles struggled to get much going in the match, they still got some good individual performances as Pearl Holloway led the way with three kills, nine assists, seven digs, and two ace serves. Haley Edmonds added six digs and 11 good serves received while Olivia Richey had four kills and one block. The Eagles will return to action on Thursday night when they host 5A Spartanburg who Chesnee defeated in the Eagles Volleyball Invitational this past weekend. Comments are closed.
