5A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP

At Avondale Golf Club in Hayden, Highland’s Dawson Moon finished runner-up in the 5A state championship, losing to Eagle’s Wheaton Ennis by four strokes.

Moon, who led Ennis by three strokes heading into Tuesday after a first-round 70, faded off the pace with a 79.

That was still good enough to be one of the 10 best rounds put up on Tuesday, but it wasn’t good enough to keep pace with Ennis, who shot even-par 72.

Moon’s two-day total of 149 was two strokes ahead of the third-place finisher, Quinn Haigwood of Boise.

Highland finished fifth as a team.

4A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP

At The Links Golf Club in Post Falls, Century’s Kade Anderson clinched a runner-up finish with a strong round on Tuesday.

On a day when the wind was pushing 40 miles an hour at times, Anderson’s 79 on Tuesday was the fourth-best round of the day, even though it was five shots worse than his first-round 74.

It wasn’t enough to get him a state championship, as he finished six shots behind Twin Falls’ Derek Lekkerkerk — but it was enough to hold off Twin Falls’ Braden Anderson and Shelley’s Nate Nelson, who finished tied for third, two shots behind Kade Anderson.

Preston’s Jackson Porter, competing as an individual, also kept his score relatively low on Tuesday, shooting 79-83-162 over the two-day tournament to finish 10th.

Century finished sixth as a team, shooting 694 over the two days.

3A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP

At Twin Lakes Golf Club in Rathdrum, American Falls’ Logan Mills and Snake River’s Noah Watt both finished in the top 10.

Mills followed up a 78 from the first day with a 79 on Tuesday, giving him a two-day score of 157, good for a sixth-place finish, 10 shots behind winner Stephen Paul of Kellogg.

Watt shot 81-78-159 to finish tied for eighth.

Snake River finished fifth out of eight teams with a two-day score of 758. Treyson Katseanes shot 95 for the Panthers on Tuesday, making him the only Snake River golfer besides Watt to break 100 on the second day of the tournament.

2A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP

At Circling Raven Golf Club in Worley, Bear Lake’s J.T. Slivinski was the top local finisher.

Slivinski, who was tied for fourth heading into the final round after a first-round 74, slipped to an 83 on Tuesday. But with scores going up for everyone in difficult conditions, he fell just one spot into a tie for fifth with Cole Valley’s Jaden Walter.

The two were eight shots behind the winner, North Star Charter’s Gavin Rodeghiero.

As a team, Bear Lake finished tied for seventh with Genesis Prep. West Side finished 12th.

Sofia Lippiello’s two-day total of 91-88-179 put her in a tie for ninth.

Pocatello’s Jess Orr and Century’s Ariana Long started the second round deadlocked with each other and finished it that way too, as both shot 95 in each of their rounds to finish tied for 17th with a two-day total of 190.

Century just missed a podium spot as a team, with the Diamondbacks’ two-day total of 749 just eight shots behind Bishop Kelly and Twin Falls, who tied for second behind the winner, Sandpoint.

At Circling Raven Golf Club in Worley, two golfers from Grace and one from Bear Lake finished in the top 10.
