The boys team from 2010 had a very successful year winning several tournaments and most of their matches. Without a controversial disqualification at the Metro Tournament they would have easily won the City Championship. The team won a landslide victory at the State Sectional Tournament at Decatur Country Club but did not advance to State because of the strong competition from the Birmingham teams at Sub-State held at Mountain Brook Country Club. One Panther boys athlete, Jackson Lockhart, advanced to State and ultimately finished second in an unbelievably strong field.

Huntsville’s Janie Jackson won the 6A Individual State Championship for 2010! She put on quite the show in the second round of the AHSAA Class 6A girls state golf tournament at Hampton Cove. Janie began the final round three shots off the lead and in fourth place after gutting out a 77 in Monday's first round, but blistered the final 18 with a 3-under 69 to win by three shots. The three-shot deficit proved to be a small obstacle for Jackson, who put on a five-birdie barrage in the first nine holes in the second round on the Highlands course.
"I knew I was capable of coming back," said the sophomore. "I didn't play very well (Monday) at all. Today was a big turnaround. I'm glad I did. I was more consistent today. I made a lot of putts."
Janie Jackson - 6A Individual State Champion
Jackson Lockhart finished in a close second for the 6A Individual State Championship for 2010. Jackson shot 66 in the final round and tied for the lead until Michael Johnson, who held the first round lead with a 67, used a birdie-birdie finish including a clutch putt to steal the win. Lockhart watched as Johnson rolled in the winning putt and took it in stride. "It was a great putt," he said. "I'm happy for him." Jackson said he left a lot of shots on the course in a first-round 70. "I didn't expect 66 today, though," he said. "I got it going early."
Lockhart’s rounds included an eagle, six birdies and two bogeys. Jackson's highlight was a 5-wood to within inches of the cup on the par 5 No. 15 for a tap-in eagle. "I'm proud of the way I played. I had nothing to lose going into today," Lockhart said.
