SOUTH CAROLINA JUNIORS RALLY FOR WIN
After the first round of the 27th Annual SCGA - GSGA Junior Team Matches, the South Carolina team found themselves down to the Georgia boys by the score of 4 1/2 to 3 1/2 . The singles matches format allows for one point per match between the top eight juniors from each state's Junior Championship. The SC team lost the first match of the second round to go down by 2 1/2 points. The rally then began as the SC juniors won the next 5 matches before losing the last two of the day. 16 year old Andor Pruitt of Cayce sparked the SC efforts by winning both of his points. On the Georgia side, the current GSGA Junior champion, 15 year old Brian Harmon, won both of his points for the second year in a row.
Individual match results are attached.
The series has been dominated by Georgia that now leads 17 to 10. This contest is the longest running Junior Matches of its kind in the United States.
