Beaufort High used another balanced effort throughout the lineup to edge Hilton Head High by two shots for another Region 7-4A golf win Thursday at Pinecrest Golf Club in Bluffton.
The Eagles had only one player crack the top six individually, but all four of their scoring players were in the top 10 en route to a team score of 163. The Seahawks (165) and May River (170) weren’t far behind, with James Island (178) in fourth and Bluffton (190) in fifth. Colleton County had only three golfers, so the Cougars did not record a team score.
May River’s Andrew Swanson earned medalist honors with a blistering 2-under-par 36, beating Hilton Head’s Nolan Hawkins and James Island’s Connor Heyboer by three shots.
