Centralia’s ReaLee Smith resided in the middle of the pack Thursday.

Smith goes into the Missouri Golf Association junior tour championship Monday and Tuesday at Greenbriar Hills Country Club in Kirksville coming off a fifth-place finish at A.L.

Dickerson finished with a 99, or 29-over par, shaking off a quadruple bogey on the par five first hole to compile a 53 on the front nine and a 46 on the back nine.

Cairo’s Addison Pollard came in eighth with a 125.

Jefferson City’s Camryn Swinfard won after shooting an 80, or 10-over par.
