GALLIPOLIS, Ohio — You win some, you lose some, and sometimes you do both.

Carley Johnson and Macy Jones each recorded rounds of 56 to cap off the Gallia Academy total. The potential tie-breaking scores for the GAHS girls were a 64 by Avery Minton and a 67 by Lilly Rees.
The Blue Devils — who tallied a 177 team total — were led by match medalist Wyatt Sipple, who posted an even-par round of 36.
Reece Thomas was next for the hosts with a 7-over par 43, while Hobie Graham and William Hendrickson rounded out the team score with rounds of 48 and 50 respectively.
