Also, a good Paducah Tilghman team would be one to beat out to advance.“Coming down the stretch, especially on the back nine, I knew it was going to be close between us and Tilghman”, Ross said. “Luckily our guys kind of beared down and focused those last few holes and finished pretty strong. I’m always telling them if they focus on the guys that they’re playing with in their group…if they try to beat the guys they’re playing with…then our team should be in good shape.”The Marshals finished with a team score of 306, beating out Paducah Tilghman by 10 strokes.Ryan Stokes led the Marshals in scoring with a 2-over round of 74 and finished fifth overall and Brooks Lamb shot 75 to finish seventh.

Went up to All-State last weekend and didn’t have our best stuff. This past week it seems like things are clicking and coming together and so they’ve been playing a little bit better lately. Hopefully everything will come together on Monday at Hopkinsville.”Landon Hunt led McCracken County with the only under par round of the day. Hunt shot 3-under par 69 to win medalist honors.
