The individual leaderboard was crowded after one round of the MHSAA Class 1A Golf Championship.

On the team side, St. Aloysius, as usual, stood alone.

Gabriel Riveros and Channing Curtis were among six players who broke 80 Wednesday at Clear Creek Golf Course, and the only two from the same team. That helped St. Al shoot a 337 team score that put it 12 shots ahead of Ingomar in the team standings, and squarely in line to win the school’s fourth consecutive team state championship.

Ingomar shot 349 as a team, and Sacred Heart was third at 358. Tupelo Christian Prep was fourth, at 373, and Stringer was fifth at 384.

Curtis’ 74 put him in second place on the individual leaderboard. Hunter Hammett of Sacred Heart, last year’s Class 1A runner-up, shot a 71 for the first-round lead.

Rhett Walters of Stringer and Jason Byrd of Salem were tied for third after shooting 76. Riveros was another two shots back, at 79, and Vardaman’s Brandon Walker was at 79.

Hammett, Curtis, Riveros and Walters all finished in the top seven at last year’s state tournament.

The second round of the tournament was scheduled to begin today at 10 a.m. at Clear Creek.
