Quotables from Coach Carter Collins
"Today was a good grind. The pins were a little tougher, and we had to adjust to the weather more today than yesterday. The guys handled it all very well and showed a lot of grit along the way."
"Statesboro, Forest Heights and Eagle Nation has shown up big time so far, and I can't wait to see what tomorrow brings, Hail Southern!"
Next Up
The third and final round is set for tomorrow at Forest Heights Country Club. Georgia Southern is paired with Notre Dame and Kentucky and scheduled to tee off the first hole at 10 a.m.
