LANCERS TAKE 4^TH in BREVARD, N.C.
Trevor Banks Finishes 2^nd

Stellar play by freshman Trevor Banks has enabled the USCL Golf Team to reach new heights in their performances this fall.  Trevor’s (73 & 71) 144 score at Glen Cannon Country Club in Brevard, North Carolina enabled the Lancers to finish 4^th in the Montreat Fall Invitational. “The most impressive fact is that Trevor is 2 under par for his first two collegiate tournaments,” said Rick Walters, Lancers coach.  “Trevor led all scores at the earlier Fall Challenge on September 4^th with a 2 under par score of 70.  His goal is to be under par for all of our fall events.  I’m sure he can reach this goal as he works extremely hard.”

USCL was only 11 shots off the lead as Brevard College won the more recent event.  Zack Lindsey of Reinhardt College, in Atlanta, shot a 2 under score of 142.  USCL’s total was 604 and Brevard was at 593.  The Lancers made a 4 shot improvement from day one.

Other Lancers scores were:  Taylor Banks 147 (74 & 73), Will Riggins, 152 (77 & 75), Kevin McGinnis 162 (80 & 81), and Ridge Alford 163 (82 & 81).

“Trevor is getting a lot of help from his teammates,” said Walters.  His brother, Taylor, finished 7^th in the event.  Will Riggins also had a good tournament as he finished in the top third,” said Walters.

“Being a Division I member of the NJCAA means our competition has picked up.  All participants in the event were NJCAA or NAIA Schools.  This gives our players a chance to show these schools their talents.  It will help them in continuing their education while they play golf for two more years,” said Walters.

The Lancers will continue their play in Spartanburg on October 4^th in the Spartanburg Methodist College Invitational at the Links O’ Tryon.

Banks Brothers Finish Second in Tournament

Lancaster's Taylor (blue shirt) and Trevor Banks finished second June 17, 2009, in the John Campbell Memorial/ Hospice Of Iredell County Golf Tournament at Mallard Head Country Club in Mooresville, N.C. 

The twins, 18, carded a 12-under-par 60 in the two-person Captain's Choice event.  Taylor and Trevor played with the winners, Steve Harwell (left) and John Dodson of Mooresville, who were 14 under.  Dodson is Community Relations Director for the NASCAR Technical Institute in Mooresville and was a crewman on driver Rusty Wallace's 1989 Winston Cup Series championship team. 

Taylor and Trevor plan to enroll at USC Lancaster this fall 2009.
