Myrtle Beach – For the third time in the last four years, the Myrtle Beach boys tennis program is a state champion.
The Seahawks capped another outstanding season with a 4-2 win over Riverside in the 2025 AAAAA Division II state finals in Columbia. Myrtle Beach is an eyelash from having four consecutive titles but lost to Riverside in 2023.
