The high school golf season is just around the corner and the South Carolina High School Golf Coaches Association has produced their pre-season poll.

While it isn’t quite “round up the usual suspects” there are a lot of familiar names at the top of each Classification’s Ranking.

Last year T.L. Hanna came from outside the pre season rankings to sweep to the AAAAA championship. The coaches poll has the Yellow Jackets on top of the pre-season ranking with good reason.

Hanna returns the Scaletta brothers to lead the way. Bennett and Jackson had outstanding seasons in 2023.

Bennett Scaletta not only won the AAAAA individual tittle last year, but also won the Jay Haas Junior Player of the Year award from the South Carolina Junior Golf Association for his outstanding 2023 season.

Jackson Scaletta brings the experience of a golfer who has placed near the top of the individual competition in state championships and helped his team to the title last yeafr.

The future Air Force Academy golfer finished second to his brother last year .

Spartanburg and Lexington are seen by the coaches to be the closest competitors to Hanna for the big school title,

Last year North Augusta had a magical season and won the AAAA title. Most of that team has moved on including AAAA individual champion Evan Neal.

The coaches pick to replace the defending champs is no surprise.

Flora is always among the top teams not just in their classification, but in all classifications.

Greenville has future Clemson golfer Tip Price leading a team that has been chasing Flora for years.

The Wren Hurricanes are the pick to lead the AAA ranks.

The quality and consistency of the Hurricane’s program sometimes gets over looked because of the bigger names making headlines in the Upstate.

In the AA-A ranking Christ Church returns the top nationally ranked player in the state and a solid supporting cast.

William Jennings signed to play college golf at Alabama after finishing with the Cavaliers this year.

According to the coaches poll ,Jennings could not only help the Cavaliers win another state title, but could win an individual title again.

Here are the complete rankings from the South Carolina High School coaches.
