Head coach Kevin Barefield praised his team’s effort against the strong field. “This is one of the biggest tournaments we will play in all season, if not the biggest, and I was proud of how our guys competed against some of the best teams in the country,” he said. “We had some really strong individual rounds, especially from Alex and Cobey, and this experience against top competition will help us as we continue preparing for postseason play.”

The Toppers aim to build on this experience as they progress through their spring season.
