Day two of the Snake River Shootout golf tournament took place at on the Cedar Creek course at Star Valley Ranch on Thursday where the Evanston teams are proving to be the teams to beat through three weekends of the season. The Devils swept the team titles for the third straight weekend. It was a close finish as the Evanston girls won by just two strokes over Jackson and the guys won by three strokes over Riverton. 

Ceci Bruno won the individual girls title by two strokes over Riverton’s Tylynn McDonald. Star Valley was led by junior Jordyn Horsley who finished in a tie for fourth place. 

Parker Paxton of Riverton and Hayes Milham of Jackson dueled it out with Paxton winning by three strokes having shot a pair of 69s. P.J. Horsley led the Braves with a seventh place finish with a score of 159. 

It was the second year of the concept which saw Jackson Hole High School host on Day 1 with Star Valley High School hosting Day 2. Last year Jackson held their round at the Jackson Hole Golf and Tennis Club with this year played at Teton Pines.
