The team finished fourth, shooting a 388. Scott City was the state-qualifying third place team with a 380.

Richter shot a 38 on his front nine and 44 on his back nine for his 82 total on the par-71 course.
The senior tied for 21st at last year’s state meet, shooting a two-day total of 163 (79 and 84).
Other Lakin scores were Brayson Hoover (90) to finish 11th, Brennan Bless (105) to place 29th, Grant Mendenhall (111), Manuel Gonzales (117), and Thomas Peters (126).
