Led by 99s shot by Abbie Shumans and Jerzie Coots, Colquitt turned in a 198 to finish second to Tift County in the Baby Lady Blue Devil Invitational.

“The greens were super fast so we definitely missed some opportunities to go lower and shoot what each play would normally,” said coach Will Phillips. “Shumans and Coots both shot 99 to keep us in the hunt.”

The middle school teams will play again on Monday, March 13, at Douglas Country Club.
