The tournament was loaded with some of the best teams in Class 6A.

Edmond North, ranked No. 2 in Class 6A, won the team championship with a score of 295-302—597. Class 6A No. 3 Norman North was runner-up after shooting a 298-307—605 and Class 6A No. 1 Stillwater followed at 297-313—610. Class 6A No. 8 Owasso and Class 6A No 5 Jenks were tied for fourth with 614 scores.

The only team not in Class 6A that made the Top 10 was Class 5A No. 1 Duncan, which landed in the 10th spot with a 320-329—649. Class 4A No. 2 Tuttle was 12th with a score of 329-333—662.

The unranked Cougars finished with a team score of 374-371—745.

"It was a very long day and we struggled all day. I was, however very happy with the play of Couper Rogers," said Ada head coach Robbie Powell.

Parker Sands of Edmond North won the medalist crown by shooting a 73-70—143. Sam Morris of Jenks was runner-up at 69-77—146 and Zach Steward of Norman North was third with a 71-76—147.

DEL CITY INVITATIONAL

The Cougars shot their best round of the spring, finishing with a 344 that landed them in the ninth spot in the team standings.

"We played our best round of the year, so I am happy about that, but we have to find a way to cut about 15 more strokes off of the score we shot today to get out of our regional," Powell said.

The Oklahoma City Storm captured the Del City championship by shooting a sizzling 299. Class 6A No. 13 Enid was runner-up with a 307 and Moore finished third at 317. Class 5A No. 4 Carl Albert was next at 320 and the OKC Storm Blue team was fifth with a 330 score.

Cooper Patterson led the Cougars with a season-best score of 81.

Taylor Johnson of Enid won the medalist title after shooting a 72. Tim Anderson of the OKC Storm was second with a 73 and Carl Albert's Kevin Westlake finished third with a score of 74.

Carter Kenley and Braxton Elkins were next for Ada with identical scores of 87. Couper Rogers was two strokes back with an 89 and Michael Muse followed at 99.

The Cougars are headed to the Guthrie Bluejay Bash hosted by the Lake Hefner Golf Club on Thursday. It will be Ada's last regular season tournament before heading to Class 4A Regional scheduled for May 1 at the Lake Murray Golf Course.
