Head Coach Jimmy Phillips said this was a special team who proved themselves over and over. “Our season culminated at Heritage Links where we had a one-stroke lead after the first round. Day two was nerve-wracking, but all our guys came through in pressure situations, and we captured the Class A Private State Championship by two strokes. It was a total team effort.”
