“We’re back on this course on Thursday for the divisional tournament, so I know my kids were studying the course as they played,” coach Gene Marcille said. “The Libby course is challenging, particularly the putting on the new greens. We’ll have to play our best golf of the year to meet our goals of qualifying for state.”
