Head Coach Kevin Barefield praised his team for how they competed against one of the strongest fields they will see this year.
"This is one of the biggest tournaments we will play in all season, if not the biggest, and I was proud of how our guys competed against some of the best teams in the country," Barefield said. "We had some really strong individual rounds, especially from Alex and Cobey, and this experience against top competition will help us as we continue preparing for postseason play."
The Toppers will look to build on the experience gained from the highly competitive event as they continue their spring season.
