Staff report

SALISBURY — Defending champions Charlie Barr and Josh Brincefield and qualifying medalists Eric Edwards and Alex Nianouris are still alive after two days of play in the Crowder-Dorsett Memorial Four-Ball Labor Day Golf Tournament.

Also advancing to Monday morning’s semifinals were the third-seeded team of Keith Dorsett and Jacob Smith and the fifth-seeded team consisting of Davie legends Ulysses “Uly” Grisette and Jeff Lankford.

Barr, who plays for High Point University and recently competed in the U.S. Amateur, and Brincefield, who starred at Salisbury High and is now Salisbury’s golf coach, will take on Grisette and Lankford, who played together not only at Davie but at N.C. State.

Both of the former War Eagles have played in PGA events. Grisette, who won the 1985 North Carolina Amateur at Mimosa Hills, once shot a 63 in a PGA event in Missouri. That match starts at 8 a.m.

At 8:08 a.m., Dorsett and Smith will start their match against Edwards and Nianouris, who played together on state champion teams at Sallisbury.

Nianouris played at Davidson, while Edwards played at George Mason and in pro events.

Dorsett has been at or near the top of Rowan golf at several courses for decades and was a Labor Day champ in 2004. He is the grandson of A.D. Dorsett, one of the legends of Rowan golf.

On Sunday,  Barr and Brincefield won 3 and 2 against Eric Mulkey and Tyler Mulkey.

In one of the best matches of the tournament, Edwards and Nianouris won on the 22nd hole against former champions William Little and Derek Lipe.

The Davie duo rolled to a 6 and 5 win in the quarterfinals against Terrain Gill and Andre Robinson.

Dorsett and Smith won 5 and 4 against Kevin Lentz and Chad Frye.

• In the Super Senior Division, John DeRhodes and Mallory McDaniel eliminated John Kyger and John Henderlite, the defending champs.

DeRhodes and McDaniel will take on Robert Shoaf and Jim Christy for the championship at 8:24 a.m.

• In the Senior Division championship set for  8:16 a.m., eighth-seeded Bob Casmus and Chris Patti will take on second-seeded Wally Eidson and Robert Ogden.
