Adalyn Pike is back on top — again.

The Athens standout carded a two-day total of 148 at RTJ Oxmoor Valley to collect medalist honors for a second straight season at the Class 6A state golf tournament.

Pike edged Pike Road’s Beka Yang by a single shot to triumph. The pair tied for the top spot last year.
