The Bulldogs have accomplished quite a bit under Fabrizio's leadership. South Fork captured back-to-back region and district titles this season en route to qualifying for the FHSAA state championship for the fourth season in a row. The Bulldogs' region title at Dubsdread Golf Course in Orlando and district title at La Cita Golf & Country Club in Titusville brought championship endings for South Fork seniors. Watch out for the team's younger players in the coming years as they picked up valuable experience this fall.
