ROANOKER PLACES 6TH IN JUNIOR GOLF

Brandon LaCroix of Roanoke finished sixth in the 15- and 16-year-old age group Saturday at the Future Masters junior golf tournament in Dothan, Ala.

LaCroix shot par 71 to finish with a 219 total for three rounds on the Dothan Country Club course. He placed in the top 20 overall in the Rolex All-America series event.

Scot Todd of Brunswick, Ga., won the overall title in a playoff with second-round leader Bubba Dickerson of Ponte Vedra, Fla.

In other sports news in the region:

The Virginians completed a victory Saturday in the Virginia State Golf Association Virginia-West Virginia Junior Team Matches at Roanoke Country Club.

Cameron Yancey won all three of his singles matches to put the finishing touches on a 211/2-141/2 victory for the hosts.

Max Gage also won three matches, helping West Virginia to a 101/2-71/2 advantage in singles play, but Virginia's 10-point advantage after Friday's four-ball competition was too much to overcome.
