Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College ended the 2010 MACJC regular season schedule with a pair of second place finishes at one-day tournaments hosted by Northeast and Itawamba Mar. 29-30.

At the Hillandale Golf Club in Corinth, Gulf Coast shot 298…three shots behind tournament winner Co-Lin. Brandon Herrington shot 70 at Hillandale to earn medalist honors.

A day later at Riverbirch Golf Club in Amory, the Bulldogs shot 296 and finished a stroke behind tournament winner Itawamba. Alex Rowland of Itawamba fired a 4-under-par 68 to take medalist honors at Riverbirch. Rowland is also the 2010 Hubert Tucker Award Winner, an honor that goes to the state’s best golfer in terms of scoring average during the MACJC tournament season.

Gulf Coast now turns its attention to the upcoming MACJC State Tournament Apr. 12-13 at Eagle Ridge Golf Club at Hinds Community College in Raymond.
