West End, N.C. — Emily Matthews was the only player under par collecting the first Individual State Championship for a player from Eastern Alamance in the program’s history. She was matched by another group celebrating a first, the Freedom Patriots, who won the school’s first Team State Championship at the 3A Women’s Golf State Championship at Beacon Ridge Golf & Country Club.
Matthews was spectacular for her 18 holes, carding a pair of eagles in her round. She eagled the par 4 3rd, holing out in two on the 356-yard hole. Then on the 462-yard par 5 16th she got home in three, matching the eagle from the front nine.
