Quotable from Coach Carter Collins
"It was a jumbled leaderboard this week, and we were on the good side of a tight board for a while but we didn't play the tough holes well coming home. It's been an emotional stretch for our team, and we are looking forward to getting back home and preparing for our next event in a couple of weeks! Go Eagles!"
