Also contributing were Reid D’Amico and Jacob Cochran shooting a score of 44 and Hunter Couchot coming in with a 48.
“The team has really came together after the past week of adversity they have had,” coach Patrick Shiflett said. “Coach Sayre and I are pleased with the leadership and camaraderie the team has shown this week. We are one win away from having a perfect season, the boys know that, and that is something they really want, not only for themselves, but for the school as well.”
