Lion boys head coach Eric Perry still thinks they could have done better and took the struggles on his shoulders.
“We just have always struggled with this course,” said coach Eric Perry. “This is something I need to do better to prepare our team.”
On Dillavou being medalist, coach Perry also believes he has improved the most.
“When he has confidence early, he can finish well,” said coach Perry. “If I had to pick the most improved, it would be Cade. Both on the course and mental maturity.”
Plagge received co-medalist and received praise from coach Perry.
“Dylan has been playing some good golf,” said Perry. “He needs to be more consistent in his rounds to be valuable for us.”

Eli Anderson led with a 35, which was good for one under par, Gavin Roske was second for the Lions with a 40.
