2018 state champion Mackenzie McRee shot a 36 at Randolph North on Monday to help lead Salpointe past Cienega and Tucson. McRee took ninth place at the D-II state championships last year and the Lancers took seventh as a team. Tucson High standout Angelica Martinez came in six strokes back with a 42.
