Head coach Kevin Barefield praised his players for competing against one of the season’s strongest fields. “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,” Barefield 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 will look to build on the experience as they continue their spring season. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
