St. Anthony and Bloomington Central Catholic had a 234 total each. Champaign St. Thomas More was third with 270 and Danville Schlarman was fourth with a 293.

"This was a special format," said St. Anthony Coach Phil Zaccari. "Invitational teams were allowed to play two individuals in the singles category, one two person betterball team and one two-person scramble team.

"Awards were given out for the low score in each category. The team score included the scores of each category with the lowest individual score making up the total. Bloomington Central Catholic won the team event based on the second individual score. Central Catholics' Tom Egbar shot an 80 with Niko Dust scoring an 81 for us."

Scoring for the Bulldogs were Luke Ludwig 39-39 -- 78 and Niko Dust 40-41 -- 81. Nathan Schultz and Dylan Ferguson combined for 40-42 -- 82 while Jacob Schmidt and Trey Koester combined for 37-37 -- 74.
