On the boys’ side, the Cyclones fell three strokes shy to Boone as the ‘Blazers eeked out a 157-160 match win over Elizabethton. Crockett, meanwhile, finished 24 strokes off the pace rounding out the day with a team total 181.
Carson Peters of Elizabethton was the boys’ medalist finisher on the day wrapping up a nine-hole total of even-par golf with a 36.
