In a crowded field full of top high school golf teams the Chesnee Eagles proved that they were the cream of the crop as they captured the 2019 Rebels Invitational shooting a team score of 309 and finishing two shots ahead of defending 5A state championship winning Lexington Wildcats (311). The Eagles victory marks the second straight year that a school from Spartanburg District Two has won the tournament as fellow district school Boiling Springs won the tournament last year and finished in fourth place this year.
The Eagles said that one of their main goals coming into the tournament was focusing on playing great as a team. "We're more focused on what we're trying to do as a team," said Chesnee girl's golf coach Kyle Scruggs. "The goal is to try and win tournaments and put ourselves in that situation. They got it done today as a team and that's what matters." While the Boiling Springs Bulldogs weren't able to repeat their performance from last season the coaches were impressed with how the team has improved with several new faces on the team from last season and knows competing in such a strong tournament will only make them better. "We are very proud of the girls as all of our girls either shot the same score or improved their score from this tournament last year," said Bulldogs head coach Shannon Turner. "It's good for us to be out here with all this strong competition so we can get a good look at where we're going to need to get to our ultimate goal at the end of the season." Both schools were well represented on Thursday as Chesnee's Sydney Roberts (73) and Isabella Britt (74) along with Boiling Springs' Madison Dixon (74) and MK Talledo (75) all made the All-Tournament team. Dixon also was Co-Medalist on Wednesday at River Falls as the Bulldogs defeated Byrnes. "Our girls played really good today," said Scruggs. "They didn't play their best on every hole but they fought hard all day." The two teams will both return to action on September 3 as they will both compete in the Palmetto Preview at Mid-Carolina Country Club.
