RAPID CITY-- The South Central girls' golf team won the girls' state Class B golf tournament Tuesday at the Elks Club golf course in Rapid City.
South Central shot a 268 on day one and a 291 on day two to claim the title with a total score of 559.
"It feels really awesome to win," South Central golf coach Billie Jo Indahl said. "We won every tournament we were in this season, so winning the state title was really the icing on the cake. On the first day of play, we shot amazing and we had an 11 stroke lead after (Monday)."
Indahl said the team struggled on Tuesday and didn't shoot as well in the second round, but was still able to grab the win by six strokes.
"I think a little bit of nerves got the girls (Tuesday) but it was always a goal of ours to win state, and we were always in contention for the title. We were consistent all season and our scores were up there with the top scores in the state and I knew we had a chance."
