Freshman Eddie Hall of Owasso, Oklahoma, posted the low round for the Ravens, shooting a 73 in the final round.

“I am very proud of our guys for fighting back in the final round after being down,” said head coach Bill Williamson. “It shows that our team has a lot of character.”

The team will travel to Miami, Oklahoma to play in the NEO Invitational Tournament on Monday, September 17. The team will resume conference play on September 24 at the second KJCCC designated golf tournament which will be played in Hesston, Kansas.
