UMS-Wright won the team title with a 2-over par 290 round and Northridge’s 7-over 295 round earned the Jaguars the second team spot.

Charlton sub-par round nipped Fairhope’s Tripp Duke by one stroke. Duke’s 70 earned him an individual berth in the state tourney along with Pirates teammate Brody Quattlebaum, who finished third with an even par 72.
The top six golfers in the Class 6A, North 5 Sub-State tourney at Athens’ Canebreak Golf Course shot 70 or better with Hartselle’s Tristan Wisener and Mountain Brook’s Thomas Norris finishing with identical 4-under rounds of 68.
