"All of the Indians showed improvement from last week," Jacksonville head golf coach, Jason Shuck, said. "The Maidens also showed improvement in just their second competitive tournament ever."
Shuck said that the tournament went smooth, as a result of the hard work put forth by two groups.
"Thanks to the JABC and staff at Cherokee Ranch for their help in making this event a success once again," he said.
The Indians will be back on the links Monday when they compete in the Bullard Invitational at Emerald Bay.
Jacksonville's girl's next action will come on March 6 (Tiger Invitational, Corsicana).
