The Ravens shot an opening round 308 in the cold and windy weather. Coffeyville native Kyler Brown and Lyle Eddy of Glenpool, Oklahoma, both shot opening rounds 75. Overall, the Ravens ended the round in a fourth place tie with Kansas City.

The team finished in fifth place behind Kansas City, Johnson County, Hutchinson, and Dodge City.

“I was proud of our guys this weekend," said assistant coach Jamie Fisher.  "We came into this tournament looking to move up in the conference standings, and we didn’t disappoint.  The guys battled through tough conditions and played their best and came away with some points.”

The Ravens are now all alone in fifth place in the overall season conference standings.
