On Friday morning in front of a large group of parents, friends and teammates in the Chesnee High School library Blake Scruggs and Caitlyn Cash both committed to continue their athletic careers at the college level next season.
Caitlyn Cash committed to Lander University where she will continue her golf career next season. Cash is one of the original members of the Chesnee golf program that finished in second place at the state championship this past season along with winning the Rebel Invitational, a tournament filled with many of the top golf programs in the state, Cash said that her commitment to Lander was in part because it reminded her a lot of her current team. "It's a great golf team and it's kind of like my Chesnee golf team because they're family oriented and very close knit," said Cash. "It's also a great school and the coach is a very great guy." Blake Scruggs committed to Erskine University on Friday morning where he will be competing on the men's volleyball team next season. He will competing in a sport next season that wasn't available in the high school ranks in South Carolina but he has been helping as a team manager for the Chesnee volleyball team that won the region this past season. While the sport isn't a high school league sanctioned sport in South Carolina currently it has been getting a lot of traction of becoming one in the state thanks to leagues like Upward, that has men's volleyball leagues, that Scruggs has been competing in over the past year. He said that the atmosphere and the opportunity to play volleyball are two of the main reason he chose to attend Erskine next year. "The atmosphere and people at Erskine, when I stepped foot on Erskine's campus I just knew that I was at home," said Scruggs. "When I went there the next week after my first visit everyone there just knew my name and where I was from, I didn't feel like just a number there. In South Carolina only three school's offer men's collegiate volleyball but out of all of them I just knew Erskine was the perfect school for me." Comments are closed.
