PLAINWELL — Someone other Edwardsburg finally won a Wolverine Conference golf jamboree.

In the afternoon, Allegan snapped the Edwardsburg winning streak by shooting 173 at Klinger Lake, three strokes better than the Eddies’ 176.

The Chieftains finished fourth with a 185.

No individual scoring was available at press time.
