Berkeley High teammates Dolton Wiggins & Cole Garrick with Boat Captain Gene Wiggins overcame major boat issues midway through the tournament to win the South Carolina SAF Tournament Trail event on Lake Murray.  The pair brought four fish to the scales weighing 10.04 pounds.

Coming in second, were Raymie Segars and Jack Covington representing Wilson Hall with 8 pounds.  Taking third place and also Big Fish honors was the team of Johnny Koester and Reid Shaw from Berkeley High School with one lunker weighing 6.13 pounds.
