Words from Coach Carter Collins
"What an awesome job by the team showing up today ready to go. The course played tricky with the hole locations and wind combo and the guys fought hard from beginning to end. The Statesboro community also showed up with some big-time energy and we can wait until Schenkel weekend in Statesboro!"
