For the second straight week, coach Dale Peay’s Lions were in second place after Sunday’s opening-round play. EMCC fired a 310 on the first day to sit just four strokes behind eventual winner Mississippi Gulf Coast. The Lions finished the second day with a 314 to place fourth as a team on the par-72, 6,421-yard layout. EMCC’s two-day total of 624 trailed host Hinds (313-308—621) and Copiah-Lincoln (319-301—620) by three and four strokes, respectively. Mississippi Gulf Coast claimed the team title for the second consecutive week by carding a two-day score of 607 (306-301), while Elliott Bingham of host Hinds earned medalist honors with a one-stroke victory over MGCCC’s Richie Williams (146-147). EMCC freshman James Winter led the Lions with an eighth-place individual finish this week by carding a two-day score of 154 (78-76).

(77-82—159) earned ties for 19th and 22nd place, respectively.
