This marked the 25th anniversary of the event. Host Corbin knocked off Notre Dame Academy out of Chattanooga (Tennessee), 35-17 in the second game. Highlands will play Notre Dame next year in the event.

Highlands 182, Bishop Brossart 191:
Highlands won its first dual match of the season at AJ Jolly Golf Course in Alexandria.
Highlands had not played since the Highlands Invitational on Aug. 7. The team had two dual matches cancelled because of the heat index. The Bluebirds have played in four tournaments so far this season.
"It was nice to finally get back out and compete," said Mike Lipscomb, Highlands Head Coach. "The girls have been itching to play. We are excited for the rest of the season."
Sophomore KJ Toole led Highlands with a 41 in the nine-hole event. Junior Ellie Rowland and senior Clara Bushman followed with 46 scores. Senior Megan Farney shot a career-low 49 to cap off the scoring.
Highlands had two others golf in the match. Eighth grader Bailey Markus shot a 50 and Lipscomb praised freshman Ali Welch for doing well in her first-ever varsity match and shooting a 56.
"The team as a whole has improved since the start of the season," Rowland said. "Tournament play is really beneficial because it creates a more competitive mindset that is essential for improvement. Our extra shot game practices have also really helped some of our newer players develop to be strong members of the team."
Highlands travels to Bowling Green (Kentucky) on Sept. 7 for the Bowling Green Invitational.
