 Will Black (left) and Jordan Jamar earned all-tournament honors this past weekend in leading the EMCC golf team to a third-place showing in Forest. Coach Dale Peay’s EMCC Lions moved from fifth to third during Sunday’s second round to finish three strokes behind tournament runner-up Northeast Mississippi. Mississippi Gulf Coast claimed the team title for the third consecutive week with a two-day total of 591 (296-295), while MGCCC’s Corey Ward edged Copiah-Lincoln’s Ryan Ratcliff by one stroke (143-144) to claim individual medalist honors. Freshman Will Black of Calhoun City led the way for the Lions by firing a composite score of 148 (76-72) to tie for fourth place individually and garner all-tournament honors. Black shot a 1-over-par 72 on the final day to tie Northwest Mississippi’s Grant Goforth for the No. 4 spot. Joining Black on this weekend’s all-tournament team was fellow EMCC freshman Jordan Jamar of Bossier City, La. Highlighted by an opening-round, 1-over-par 72, Jamar finished in a sixth-place tie with Northeast Mississippi’s Blake Hatfield with a two-day total of 150. Former Northwest Rankin standout Garrett Alford tied for 16th place by carding a 154 score (79-75) for the Lions. Rounding out EMCC’s scorecard on the par-71, 6,027-yard layout were Belmont’s Trey Adams (80-82—162) and James Winter of Brandon (79-86--165), who placed 35th and 43rd, respectively. Competing as an individual scorer for the weekend, EMCC sophomore Hal Larkin of Caledonia tied for 10th place with a two-day effort of 153 (76-77). The fourth MACJC golf event of the spring will take place Sunday and Monday (March 8-9) at the Wolf Hollow Golf Course. The two-day tournament will be hosted by Copiah-Lincoln Community College. |
