a Food Lion South Atlantic Conference individual tournament championship. Shooting
a three round total of 216 (73-71-72; E), Stanley paced a field of 45 as Newberry
finished second in the team standings.
In the fall, Stanley tied the school record for an 18-hole low after the first
round of the State-Farm Laker Invitational in Hampton, Ga. needing just 66 strokes
