The Dalles-Wahtonka was runner-up at 354 and Silverton took third at 362. Other scores in the tournament were: Molalla (372), Sweet Home (402), Blanchet (417) and St. Helens (420).

Coach Jeff Barton told The Nugget that the greens were the fastest the Outlaws have seen all year and the entire team had all sorts of trouble with them.

"The course was extremely hard and we struggled, but so did everybody else," said Barton.

The Outlaws travel to Prineville on Thursday, April 9, for the Crook County Invitational, which will be held at the Meadow Lakes Course.
