ZANESVILLE – St. Clairsville’s bid at back-to-back Ohio Division II state golf tournament appearances came up a little short Monday at the sun-soaked EagleSticks Golf Course.

The youthful Red Devils, who won the sectional title last week with a junior and four sophomores, finished in third place with a four-man total of 310.

Barnesville tied Maysville for third with scores of 311. Martins Ferry finished seventh at 331.
