Chesnee went to the Hackler Golf Course in Conway on Monday to compete for a state championship and came away Tuesday with a second place finish in the 3A/2A/1A girls golf state championship match.
The Eagles shot a team score of 634 finishing just behind Gilbert, the eventual state champions, who shot a team score of 626. "Coming away with a second place finish against that level of competition is a pretty good accomplishment," said Chesnee head coach Kyle Scruggs. "We got down seven shots on the first day to Gilbert and then on the front seven today we fell behind to twenty-seven but then came on strong on the back nine to get it back to eight. Gilbert just got hot early and we just couldn't make up the ground because they stayed hot the whole tournament." Chesnee junior golfer Sydney Roberts finished second runner-up after shooting a two day total of 138 (73, 65) and was joined on the All-State team by fellow Eagles player Isabella Britt who shot a two day total of 149 (69, 80). "Sydney shot a sixty-five today which just continues a great season for her as her scoring average this season is around a 70.9" said Scruggs. "She has either won or been in the playoff for numerous tournaments this season." While the state championship tournament ends the season for the Eagles they are already looking to be back next season even with the loss of seniors Isabella Britt, Paige Scruggs, and Becca Watson. "When you graduate three seniors you have to think you'll take a hit but I believe we'll still be very competitive next year," said Scruggs. "When you're returning a player like Sydney Roberts it'll be key for the leadership of our younger girls. I think we have some really good players coming back next year in freshmen Olivia Roberts, Addy Parker, and Olivia Shields along with junior Mallory Hayes and eighth grader Abigail Watson. We'll take the next few months off and then we'll start getting ready for next year." In the 5A state championship tournament at Lexington Country Club the Boiling Springs Bulldogs came away with a sixth place finish in the two day state championship tournament. The Bulldogs finished the tournament with a team score of 695 and trailed fifth place Wando by just eight shots. Lexington won the 5A state championship at their home course after outshooting second place Blythewood by thirty-two shots. Boiling Springs senior Mary Katheryn Talledo was named to the All-State team after shooting a two day total of 149. Comments are closed.
