New Albany High's golf team once again claimed division titles and are now preparing for the state tournament in Jackson.

The boys won their third title in a row, defeating Hernando, Pontotoc, Oxford and Center Hill. Below are the scores.

New Albany 321 1st place

Austin Holt 82, Tucker Holmes 78, Sam Cooper 78, Laden Stanford 83 and Blake Conlee 97.

Hernando 345, 2nd place - qualified for state as a team.

Trey Howell 82, Sam Anglin 84, Dylan Baskins 91, Austin Duykers 88 and John Michael Little 93.

New Albany native and former NAHS standout Ryan Wilhite died in a car accident Tuesday morning in Chilton County, Ala.

Wilhite and fellow Faulkner University teammate Teirson Hollis were in the vehicle when they were struck at 5:10 a.m. by an 18-wheeler. Both died on the scene. The two were on their way back to Montgomery after visiting with a friend in Tuscaloosa.

County rivals created plenty of drama on Tuesday at the Ole Miss Golf Course, as the District 2-1A title came down to a one hole playoff between West Union and Ingomar.

The two teams have faced off several time already this season, with competition close every time.

This was the first time all season that either team played a full 18 holes, and at the end of the day, the Falcons and Eagles found themselves in a tie for first place.

The Lady Seminoles proved why they are one of the best teams in the north, as they swept West Union over the weekend to advance to the North Half finals this week.

West Union started the series on the road Thursday and held a 2-0 lead before Smithville answered and took over the game.

Leah Paige Goolsby brought in the first run for the Lady Eagles, as Claire Wilkerson walked to start the game, followed by a single by Kimberly Jumper.
