With the victory, the Tigers qualified for the Class C state team championships, set for Saturday, Oct. 10 at Natanis Golf Club in Vassalboro.
Central Aroostook also qualified for state competition as a team.
The top six golfers, shooting 90 or less, qualified for the state individual championships on Oct 17, also at Natanis.
Those qualifying as individuals were: Central Aroostook’s Kaine Kingsbury (87) and Will Delong (90); Southern Aroostook’s David Dubois (77); Katahdin’s Brandon Robinson (88); and Fort Fairfield’s Josh Churchill (88) and Ian Girvin (86).
