The University of South Carolina-Salkehatchie athletic department would like to wish you and yours a very Happy New Year.
2009 was an exciting year for USC Salkehatchie athletics, we saw our men's basketball program win the first Region X title in school history. This year our men's and women's soccer teams both qualified for the Region X tournament for the first time and both broke the previous record for wins in a season.
The USC Salkehatchie baseball team improved by leaps and bounds under the guidance of head coach Bubba Dorman. We had a player (Oliver Santos) drafted in the April MLB draft by the Cincinnati Reds.
The USC Salkehatchie Lady Indians softball team broke the school record for wins in a season and did well in the Region X tournament.
We had numerous players move on to 4-year institutions to continue their playing career.
