QUOTABLE
"We had some okay individual rounds today but didn't play well all together as a team," said head coach Austin King. "I was happy to see Will bounce back this afternoon with a good under par round and Trev played better in the afternoon as well. Rafe was steady most of the day outside of a few swings and Gage and Ethan will have better days tomorrow. Looking to finish strong so we can have some momentum heading into Texarkana here in a few weeks."
