The names on the Hilton Head Island High swim team roster are different. The results, however, are still the same.

Out are two key players that propelled the Seahawks to back-to-back state titles the last two seasons. In are a new crop of seasoned veterans ready to help the Hilton Head High girls keep their place atop South Carolina swimming.

"I think they're really, really hungry for it," second-year coach Mike Lane said. "I think they have a real sense of the reality of the situation. If we do get it, it's probably going to be the hardest title of the three to get."

The undefeated Seahawks (9-0) will go for that third straight title Saturday afternoon in the state meet at 4 p.m. at the Carolina Natatorium in Columbia.

They will do so without a pair of swimmers who catapulted Hilton Head High to each of its last two titles, as stalwarts Josie Cuda and Reed Penale have since departed for college.

Cuda -- who now swims at Florida State University -- was the S.C. Swim Player of the Year in each of the last two seasons, thanks in part to her consecutive state crowns in the 200 freestyle. She also owns school record times in both the 100 free (53.41 in 2011) and 100 fly (58.26 in 2009).

Joining her in the Seahawks' dominance was Penale, who scored in the top 20 in all of her events, Lane said. Both girls competed in relays for Hilton Head High, leaving Lane with some tough decisions to make in regards to this year's quartets.

He said he plans on deciding who will take part in the relays after seeing who swims the best early on.

"That's a lot of points that we're not getting," Lane said. "We're going to have to make up for it."

Stepping in for the Seahawks to help fill that void is senior Camille Felix, who was named co-MVP of last year's state meet alongside Cuda. Felix is a state champion in the 500 free and has earned a second-place finish in the 200 free.

Joining her in Columbia are fellow seniors Cassie Ley, who competes in the free and breaststroke, and Mary Bolgan, who also takes part in the free.

"We definitely are lighter," Lane said. "We lost key girls last year and we have a smaller team this year. But I think we're in a position to make a run at it and try to earn it again. It's going to take multiple efforts."
