Pearl River men's golf enters 2024-25 with renewed optimism

POPLARVILLE, Miss. —  The 2023-24 season may not have gone how the Pearl River golf team wanted it to, but the Wildcats are entering the 2024-25 season feeling optimistic about their chances.

"Last year's team put their heart and soul into it, but they were just a little bit too green," head coach Coby Scarborough said. "I made a pact to myself that if we were going to do this, then I had to do a better job recruiting. I went out and got 12 new athletes who have a lot of golfing experience.

"I'm really excited about this team. This is the best recruiting class I've had, and they've come in and meshed. They're a family and are making each other better. I have high expectations for this team. Hopefully, I can manage these guys better and get them where I think they need to be."

In PRCC's first season back in action during the 2021-22 season, the Wildcats qualified for the District tournament. PRCC followed that season up by having a pair of individuals qualify for the tournament in 2022-23. In 2024-25, Pearl River is hoping to get back to that level.
