PICKENS — The Daniel High School girls’ golf team was recently recognized for its second consecutive Class 4A state championship win.

During its Dec. 16 meeting, Pickens County Council passed a resolution congratulating the team on its win.

Chairman Roy Costner read the resolution aloud following the vote.

The resolution said that under the leadership of principal Shannon Sharkey and athletic director Tommy Plumbee, the school has established “an excellent athletic program, including a girls’ golf team led by coach Andy Swords.”

The team has won five consecutive Class 4A upper state competitions, qualifying them for the Class 4A state championship, the resolution said.

The Class 4A state championship tournament was held at The Shipyard Golf Club on Hilton Head Island in October, the resolution said.

“The Daniel High girls’ golf team won by 52 strokes” at the state tournament, Costner said. “Pickens County recognizes the hard work and exemplary performance of the Daniel High girls’ golf team.”

The team’s achievement makes a fine representation “for all of Pickens County,” the resolution said.

The second consecutive championship win is an “outstanding achievement that bring honor to our county, as well as Daniel High School,” the resolution said.
