FIHS ATHLETICS: THE BEG INN ING

The beginning of Fountain Inn High School Athletic Program started this past fall with Football, Volleyball, Swim, Cross Country, Girls Tennis, and Girls Golf. Our swim teams produced the first individual state qualifiers with Jackson McConkey on the boys side and Maarijka Ashworth on the girls. Both of our Cross Country Teams qualified for state with the girls placing 7th overall in the team standings. Kalie Ashworth led the way with a twelfth place finish in the SCHSL AA State Meet claiming our schools first all-state honors.

This Winter has seen a lot of success with our Boys and Girls Basketball teams as well as our young Fury Wrestling Team. The Boys team finished the regular season with perfect 17-0 mark and our girls finished 6-10. Both teams made up of just ninth graders regularly competed with JV teams that were made up of ninth, tenth, and eleventh graders. The wrestling team had its first state qualifiers for MS and JV led by brothers Jack Carnes, Caden Carnes, Evan Coons, and Mason Coons. Caden was the first ever state placer in the JV division taking 4th as a first year wrestler.

All spring sports are starting now and we have a lot of kids out for Boys and Girls Soccer, Baseball, Softball, Boys golf, Boys Tennis and Track & Field. We are excited about the great work our coaches are doing with our young teams and we are confident that the training they are putting in early is going to lead to competitive programs in the future. We are looking forward to the community coming out and supporting our spring sports just like they did during the fall and winter seasons. Our Softball Team will have Fountain Inn Recreation Night April 14 and the Baseball team will have FI Rec Night April 15. We will see you at the park. GO FURY!
