If the Tigers were playing Missota Conference poker they would be four-fifths of their way to a straight.
Their eighth place finish in Tuesday's league tournament played at Mississippi National in Red Wing gives them a fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth place finish in four conference meets this spring.
Tommy May was the lone bright spot in the last place effort with a round of 76 that helped maintain his ranking among the league leaders.
"With the last conference meet and the section coming up, we need a few more golfers to jump on board," coach Jon Holmes said. "We definitely have the talent but we are lacking in the consistency department."
Tony Lalani finished nine shots back of May at 85 to place second on the Farmington scorecard. Jacob Hanson shot 86, Trevor Hockert 88, Cooper Loew 89 and Matt Provost 92.
Four junior varsity players finished at or below 85, including Mike Dalhed and Kevin Olund 81, Ryan Kelly 83 and Mitch Reed 85.
"Our junior varsity actually beat the varsity by five strokes," Holmes said. "It proves our depth of talent but it also shows how much we need consistency from our top four scorers."
May shot a one-over 73 to again lead Farmington scorers in Thursday's 314-319 dual meet loss to Faribault. Loew checked in at 81, followed by Lalani 82, Hanson 83, Provost 84 and Hockert 88.
The final Missota Conference meet takes place Monday at New Prague with the Section 1AA Championships to follow June 2-3 at Bellwood Oaks Golf Club in Hastings.
