Lewis County’s Logan Liles closes out his high school golfing career with one last special accolade.
Liles was named to the Kentucky Golf Coaches Association First Team All-State on Tuesday.
The All-State Golf First and Second Teams are chosen by points earned throughout the KHSAA season in high school invitationals, KGCA All-State Championships, Regionals, and the KHSAA State Championships.
The Lions senior finished with 865 points, good for ninth in the state. The top 10 point-getters make the first team, the next 10 make the second team.
Liles jumpstarted his career as an eighth grader, making the cut at the state tournament and finishing in the top 50. He continued his solid play over the next four years, finishing third in the region tournament as a freshman and winning two tournaments throughout the season. During his sophomore season, Liles won three tournaments and was named the Co-KGCA 12th Region Player of the Year.
He continued his ascension towards the state’s elite as a junior, finishing on the KGCA All-State second team. He won five tournaments and placed second in five others.
In his senior year, Liles finished first in six tournaments and runner-up in five tournaments while finishing outside of the top three in tournaments just three times throughout the year, capping it off with first team honors.
Not bad for a kid without a golf course in his home county.
Taylor County’s Luke Coyle won Mr. Golf, Marshall County’s Trinity Beth winning Ms. Golf in Kentucky.
