The Bishop England High School boys\u2019 golf team was in second place after Day 1 of the Class AAAA state golf championship.\u00a0
The two-day tourney ran from May 18 to\u00a019, and\u00a0was contested at the Cross Creek Golf Course in Seneca, South Carolina.\u00a0
Daniel took a 301-304 lead over the\u00a0Bishops, with Blue Ridge right behind in third place with a 305.\u00a0
Sophomore Merritt Mathesius led the\u00a0Bishops\u00a0with a score of 71, one below par. Hunter Colwell shot a 76 while Evan Hovde carded a 77. Sam Pelsnik carded an 80.\u00a0
Bishop England coach Jeff Burton said his team struggled on the front nine for the second straight year but recovered to be in the hunt for the state title.\u00a0
\u201cIt was just like last year,\u201d Burton said. \u201cWe\u00a0couldn\u2019t\u00a0have designed it any worse than what we got when we returned. But with the leadership we have on this team and one extra year under their belts, all these guys dug deep and turned it around on the back nine to chase down defending\u00a0champ\u00a0Blue Ridge and a very well-played Daniel squad.\u00a0
\u201cThe boys are pleased even though their scores weren\u2019t the best,\u201d Burton added. \u201cThey didn\u2019t quit and dug down deep on the back nine.\u201d\u00a0
PSHS ALL-STATE SOCCER\u00a0<\/strong>
The Philip Simmons High School boys\u2019 soccer team had a stellar season, as coach Patrick Gunderson\u2019s squad enjoyed a 12-game winning streak, a 22-3 record, and an appearance in the Class AA Lower State semifinal.\u00a0
But that just might be the\u00a0tip of the iceberg, success-wise, if the South Carolina High School Soccer Coaches Association\u2019s all-state selections are an indicator. The Iron Horses had six players make the team, and four were sophomores.\u00a0
Senior Chris Morales was the headliner after leading the Iron Horses with 31 goals, 21 assists, and 83 points. His younger brother, Ramone Morales, was also selected.\u00a0
The super sophomores include Grayson Barna, Charlie Collier, Sam Henry, and Peyton Owens.\u00a0
\u201cI think the fact that we have four sophomores making all-state speaks to the fact the program has a bright future even after losing key seniors,\u201d Gunderson said. \u201cIt also means that we will play the best players regardless of their age.\u201d\u00a0
The Iron Horse girls had two players make the Class AA-A all-state team: Haley Franko and Addison Madden. The team went 14-10 and reached the Lower State semifinals.\u00a0
BISHOP ENGLAND FOOTBALL\u00a0<\/strong>
Two seniors who played on the Bishop England football team recently announced their plans after high school.\u00a0
Brody Tonon will attend Wofford College, while Hunter Alex will attend Williston Northampton.\u00a0
Tonon transferred from Philip Simmons to Bishop England in time for his senior season and was\u00a0tough as nails\u00a0on both sides of the ball for coach Logan Hall\u2019s Bishops.\u00a0
The 5-foot 10-inch, 195-pounder played running back and linebacker and excelled with 847 all-purpose yards and 10 touchdowns. He recorded 61 tackles and an interception on defense.\u00a0
Alex played linebacker and had an impressive 113 stops while picking off two passes.\u00a0
Another Bishop, quarterback Quinn Mahoney, announced his college plans in the fall of his senior year. He will play for Campbell University in Buies Creek, North Carolina.\u00a0
