The Tigers will play in the Class 4A state tournament on Monday, Oct. 2, and Tuesday, Oct. 3, at The Bridges Golf & Country Club in Montrose. It is a well known course by the team, which makes them confident.

There will be 12 teams competing in the Class 4A state tournament.

“I am super excited, we as a team are just really excited to win state,” said Simmons.
