The first gross-winning team on Sunday was the team of Sarah Shinkle, Mary Kerns, Maxine Day and Stacey Radinovich. The first net-winning team was the team of Lacy Avera, Jeanette Radinovich, Debbie Raney and Melody Miller.

Finlayson said she wanted to thank everyone who helped make the tournament a success this year.

“So many wonderful folks,” Finlayson said, “came together to make this year one for the record books.”
