  Fir State produced a number of highly competitive golfers at the local level and a outstanding one on the national level when Bill Wright Jr. went on to capture the prestigious U.S. Amateur Public Links Championship, becoming the first African-American golfer to achieve that distinction in 1959;
• In 1994, the tradition was continued when high school freshman Tyson Lanore won the high school championship and a spot in the national Maxfli Junior Championship;
