This year the Class A Championship would be only one round at the Hartsville Country Club, while most state championships are 36 holes.

“I’m not crazy about playing just one round, You can have a bad day or some team can capture lightening in a bottle and its over,” said Horner.

Horner sent his team out telling them there where a lot of birdies out there and to have fun and to make some other team beat them.

“The course was not long and the greens were good. I knew we could play well and our guys did,” he said.

William Jennings and Groves Williams have led the Cavaliers all year and they did again in the Championship.

Hall, a senior, topped the field with a 4-under par 68 to claim medalist honors for the Knights.

Hall hit 17 of 18 greens in regulation, The only green he missed put a double bogey on his card , but it was about the only mistake he made in the round,

“I bounced back right after that and made four birdies on the back nine, my putting was really good,” said the new state champion.

Hall didn’t know how the rest of the field stood and just concentrated on playing the course and did it better than anyone else in the field.

“It means a lot to me to win. I’ve been All-State for three years . I wanted to play my best and I gave it my full effort for both me and the team. I’m pretty happy to have a state championship,” said Hall.
