The Ravens are the defending Class 1A boys state champs, and enter the day with a 17-15 overall record.

Individually, Rowan Miller leads with averages of 38 and 81 on nine and 18 holes respectively. Schrock is next at 42 and 86 and Seth Ours third at 44 and 89. The Ravens were sectional champions a season ago.

The Highland Huskies are 3-15 this season. They were 13th of 15 schools at least week’s Superconference Championship meet with a 427 team score, led by Colten Sypherd eighth overall with an 84. On the year, the Huskies have a nine hole team average of 221 with a 212 low and a 427 average and low on 18. Individually, Sypherd sets the standard with a 54 average on nine and an 85 average for 18. William Dunbar is second with a 57 per nine and 109 on 18.
