The Marshall County Tigers played some inspired golf Monday at the District 11A/AA Tournament at Henry Horton State Park, coming within just two shots of dethroning defending champion Cascade.

"We are disappointed that we didn't win," said MCHS head coach Brent Johns. "But, we are excited about the opportunity to play for a region championship on Monday."

The Tigers finished with a 337 four-player, cumulative score, while the Champions eked out the title with 335.

Cascade head coach Chad Gordon said about the back-to-back titles, "My kids have such high standards, they didn't shoot the scores they have been all year, but they still did enough for us to win it again."

The Tigers' lone senior Miller Sale tied with teammate Austin Blade for low round on MCHS with identical 82s, while Brooks Leftwich carded an 86, Carson Hill was one shot back of Leftwich with an 87 and Wilson Limbaugh needed 96 strokes to get around the Buford Ellington Golf Course.
