QUINCY - Carter Crow shot an even-par 71 to take the individual title and helped Edwardsville High's boys' golf team win the IHSA Class 3A Quincy regional tournament Wednesday afternoon at the Westview Golf Club in Quincy.

The Tigers posted a powerful team performance and won with a score of 309, edging out O'Fallon, who advanced to their own sectional on Monday with a 310, with Alton joining the Tigers and Panthers with a third-place finish at 323, going through as a team for the first time since 2001. Collinsville was fourth at 328, but qualified three individuals for the sectional tournament, while Belleville West was fifth at 330, the host Blue Devils came in sixth at 339 and Belleville East came in seventh at 340. Granite City also had golfers in the field, but not enough to register a team score.
