The Cubs ended up fifth out of nine teams with an 18-hole score of 345. Jake Crowley had a phenomenal individual performance for Nevada in placing fourth to earn all-conference honors, but the Cubs were consistent enough as a team to hang with the top teams in the conference.
"We were guessing that we would give Carroll a run for second, but unfortunately we chose the wrong day to misfire as a group," Nevada head coach Ryan Brown said. "The difference for us today was that we did not take advantage of the scoreable holes. Every course has holes that present the opportunity for pars - if not birdies - and we didn't play those holes well at all. We hope we've gotten this out of our system as we approach sectionals."
Ballard won the title with a score of 310 while Carroll shot a 319 for second place, Adel-Desoto-Minburn was third with a 331 and Dallas Center-Grimes took fourth with a 336.
Crowley was outstanding on the day as he shot a 78, including a 37 on the front nine. His effort tied him with Ballard's Devin Leland for the third-lowest score, while the Bombers' Matt Greenfield and Taylor Eichinger tied for the lowest at 76, with Greenfield winning the playoff to take medalist honors.
"We were all very happy with Crowley's all-conference performance," Brown said.
Jordan Kieffer had the next-lowest score for Nevada with an 88 and Bryce Black shot an 89, while Tyler Olson and Nick Harvey each carded a 90.
