Rebels Battle Rainy Conditions On Final Day
Heading into the final round of AAAA State Championship, the Byrnes Rebels were in 12th place and looking to move up in the standings. Through one day and the first two rounds, Byrnes had a total score of 647. Over those first two rounds, the Rebels were led by Jordan White who had scores of 82-78 for a 160 total, and also Will Blackwood who carded scores of 79-81 for a 160 total. Taylor White rebounded well off a tough first round 84 with a score of 79 on his second round.
Play in the final round began in a light drizzle that eventually caused play to be suspended for close to 90 minutes. After the delay, the Rebels went back out seeking to move up in the standings. The Rebels were led by Jordan White 81, Will Blackwood 82, Taylor White 82 and Phil Pryor 84. The Rebels' 329 was tied with Dorman for the 9th best score on the rain soaked day, which was good enough to pass South Aiken and pull to within 1 shot of Sumter and a Top Ten finish.
