The girls finished third out of nine teams while the boys were fourth of 11 teams.
“It was a bit warm but the kids fought through and had a great day competing,” stated coach Jeff Lamoureux. “It’s nice to see Greene County near the top. We have some work to do to be able to compete with some of the elite teams like Nodaway Valley and Panorama but we are definitely headed in the right direction.”
