From staff reports

Qualifying for the 64th  Crowder-Dorsett Memorial Labor Day Golf  Tournament at the Country Club of Salisbury concluded on Sunday.

Play begins on Saturday.

The 65 posted by Jared Barnette-Justin Lefler held up for medalist honors. That pair will be the top seed. Troy Beaver turned pro, so the Beaver-Charlie Barr championship team from a year ago isn’t eligible  to defend the title. Barr will be playing with Michael Childress.

The top 16 qualifying teams make up the Championship Flight. Seeds also have been determined for the next eight flights.

See Scoreboard.

The top-seeded team of Chip Comadoll-Jerry Wright returns to defend the 55-over championship.

Randy Davis-Jim Wyatt shot 68 for medalist honors and will be the No. 2 seed.

In the 65-over division,   the team of  Bob Mangum-Ron Shirk defends the title. The team of Grey Medinger-Russ Priddy shot 70 for medalist honors and is seeded No. 2.

The team of Allison Adams-Micah Furr returns to defend the women’s title. Adams has been on the winning team every year.

The top women’s qualifying effort was turned in by Lauren Denhard-Haylie Paulin, with a 79.
