The Meridian Community College golf team started the season off on a high note by firing a 301 to lead the Faulkner State Invitational.

"I was very glad that we have the lead after the first round," said MCC golf coach Clinton Hales. "We have another great chance at winning a tournament and getting our spring started well."
