WEST END — Newton-Conover High golfer Logan McNeely gained what he’d come to get on Tuesday in the state 2A boys’ golf championships.
McNeely, who finished second in last year’s tournament in a playoff, shot a 70 – the only sub-par round in the tournament — and won the state title at Beacon Ridge Country Club. He shot a 1-over par 145 over two rounds to edge Justin Emmons of Providence Grove by five strokes.
Emmons was the first-day leader with McNeely two strokes behind.
Wilkes Central won the team title, shooting 37-over par 613 and finishing 32 strokes ahead of second-place Lake Norman Charter.
Draughn, led by Alex Parker’s fourth place finish, ended up sixth in the team standings at 663 and Shelby took ninth at 689.
