The Seahawks won the Class 4A state championship 4-1 over Greenwood Saturday at the Dr. Eddie Floyd Tennis Center in Florence. The victory capped a 23-0 season and returned Myrtle Beach to the top of 4A tennis. They last won the title in 2019.

The updated rankings, released Tuesday, reflect the Seahawks' region championship victory over South Florence, currently No. 8 in the polls. Myrtle Beach has clinched a No. 1 seed and home-field advantage throughout the lower state finals, should Mickey Wilson's team continue to win in the postseason.

The two Myrtle Beach seniors carried the Seahawks to a season-opening 34-31 victory against Oceanside Collegiate at The Citadel on Friday night. Their numbers were unreal, and they both showed why they’ll be playing NCAA Division-I football this time next year.
