FAIRLEA- On Wednesday, Greenbrier East golfer Isaac Hutchison received some bonus news after coming up just short at the state golf tournament with an impressive fourth-place finish after shooting a 158 overall.
The junior was tabbed as a first team all-stater for the second consecutive year.
Hutchison, who has also qualified for the state golf tournament all three years so far, was very grateful for the news.
“To get first team all-state for the second year in a row means a lot to me,” he exclaimed.
“I want to first and foremost thank my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for all my accomplishments. I wouldn’t be here without him. I have worked so hard this season so for it to end with a bang again feels amazing.”
Although satisfied with his final performance of 2025, Hutchison wishes he could have done just a tad more on a few holes.
“I wish I could have put together a couple better holes, but you can’t ask for everything, and I’m pleased to finish tied for 4th in AAA,” he stated.
With his coach’s guidance through his career and his fellow teammates standing with him through it all, Hutchison understands the role they all play in helping him succeed and he could not be more thankful for each of them.
“I want to thank all my teammates for pushing me every day in practice and matches, but I especially want to thank my coaches,” Hutchison said.
“Coach Jemel, thank you for pushing me and helping me through the ups and downs throughout the year, and always having a positive outlook on things no matter good or bad. Coach Miluk, thank you for constantly providing me with the articles and information to improve and be great. Your encouragement is always enough to get me through a tough round.”
But the appreciation didn’t stop there as the all-stater also sees the role his parents play as well.
“I also would like to thank my parents for sacrificing the things that they do to get me to tournaments and matches! They sacrifice the things they love to watch me play golf and it means a lot.
Hutchison will be back for his final season next year as his quest for a state title continues.
