Pisgah boys golf takes sixth-straight conference title
May 20—A lot of teams can make it to the mountain top, but not many can hang around. Yet that's exactly what the Pisgah boys' golf team has done with their sixth consecutive conference title. And Coach Bentley Rogers gives all the credit to the kids who put the work in.
"We've had kids who understand golf is not just a sport from February to May. These kids are playing golf, they work at golf courses and are around the game," Rogers said. "If we cancel practice, they find a way.
" A trio of soon-to-graduate seniors were critical to the six-year run for Pisgah, being a part of four of the six titles. And they've added to the culture of the program, setting the foundation for what's to come for Pisgah. "Their work ethic is what I'm always using as an example to the younger guys," Rogers said.
Late in the season, the Bears began facing tough competition. But Pisgah was ready for it. "We have been in those situations for conference championships," Rogers said.
"We went to the conference championship, and we had a decent lead, but we didn't want to melt and give it all away. Their experience in that situation helped us so much because they've done it for their whole high school career. They've been the conference champions — they even know how to fight for it.
