It was back to conference play on Tuesday for area golf teams after Monday's district tournaments. The Farmington Knights barely continued their undefeated conference record, and the Central Rebels split their tri-dual, but picked up the conference win.
Farmington 165 (43-55 TB), Arcadia Valley 165
FARMINGTON - The Farmington Knights were nearly upset by the Arcadia Valley Tigers in Tuesday's match. The Tigers managed to tie the conference leaders at 165 each, but the fifth man's scores which were used as a tiebreaker gave the Knights the win.
