Jett Spann and the teams of Courtney Mayberry/Natalie Szeflenski, Owen Reynolds/Nathan Uptagrafft, and Chloe Ashmead/Julie Lieu all advanced to the quarterfinals but fell just short of advancing to state. Rose Lewellen, Colton Smith, and the team of Gage Hyatt/Bryce Jones also qualified for the conference tournament and competed today.

Thatcher Allen shot an 87 and qualified to compete in the state competition Oct. 4 at Hurricane Golf Club in Benton. Coach Scott Hoffman said of the team, "I'm very proud of our Yellowjackets as they have battled for two days in 100 degree heat. They have been working since July in sweltering heat, thunderstorms, and you name it. They all worked hard and really improved." Of Allen's performance, Hoffman said, "This guy got it done today! He has worked so hard after coming up just short last year. Lots of effort, work, and determination paid off."
