SCOOBA — Coach Dale Peay’s 2008-09 East Mississippi men’s golf team left Friday to participate in the school’s second Fall World Class Golf Tour.

The eight-day trip will take the EMCC golf team to Gulf Shores, Ala., and around various scenic courses in Destin, Fla.

A year ago, the Lion linksters spent a week traveling and playing various courses in Alabama, Georgia and North Carolina.

Expected to field a team of five traveling freshmen this week due to an injury to sophomore Brian Ledbetter and an illness sustained by fellow second-year player Zak Holloway, the Lions are slated to tee off this fall’s tour at the Kiva Dunes Golf Course in Gulf Shores, Ala.

EMCC will then head to Destin, Fla., to challenge the scenic layouts of Burnt Pine, Raven, Shark’s Tooth, Camp Creek Golf Club, Pensacola Country Club, and Kelly Plantation.

EMCC opened the fall campaign last month with a third-place team finish at the Mississippi College Invitational held at the Patrick Farms Golf Course in Jackson.

Most recently, the Lions competed in a three-team scrimmage event held at Grenada’s Dogwood Golf Club along with Northwest Mississippi and Itawamba.

Led by co-medalists Michael Lauseng and Trey Adams with identical scores of 73, EMCC shot 297 as a team — besting the previous all-time school record of 311 for lowest team total. Garrett Alford and Will Black added scores of 74 and 77, while Winter’s 84 rounded out the team’s individual scoring.

Neel leaving champion War Eagles for Panthers
    Eric Neel spent three seasons coach at East Central. The Hornets played in three state championship games.
   Neel then coached the past three years at Wayne County, leading the War Eagles to three straight Class 5A fast-pitch state crowns.
   And now, he doesn’t see why the same can’t occur at Quitman. After guiding Wayne County to its third straight championship Saturday, Neel resigned his position in Waynesboro on Thursday to replace Kacie Roberson at Quitman.

The Drought Is Over
All Mason Irby was hoping for was to find a way on base.
The Southeast Lauderdale sophomore did that and so much more. Irby's single with two outs in the seventh inning broke a tie, lifting the Tigers to a 6-3 MHSAA Class 3A state championship win at Smith-Wills Stadium on Wednesday, and handing Southeast (32-7) its first title since 1966.
