Looking to improve the team’s standing from last in the region leaderboard, Toomer fired an individual score of 76, while Killpack shot a 77. The two individual marks helped Emery to a team score of 337, good enough for third place overall.
The Grand Red Devils took over first place in the region with a dominating score of 307. North Sanpete finished just two strokes better than Emery with a 335. Richfield and South Sevier completed the top five, while San Juan and Manti rounded out the field of seven.
