MORELAND - Snake River shut out Star Valley (Wyo.) 27-0 on Friday at home.

The Panthers (2-0) scored touchdowns in each of the first three quarters before adding two field goals in the final quarter.

They rushed for 253 yards, a big improvement over their 166-yard performance last week. Emmitt Smith led them with 64 yards. Derik Williams had 60 yards and a touchdown, while Jacob Reece had 51 yards and two scores.

"It was good to see us come out and rush the ball a little bit better than we did last week," Snake River coach Jeff Dalley said.

The Panthers also held firm on defense, with Craig Trejo and C.J. Toulouse intercepting passes to maintain the shutout.

Snake River next faces Shelley.
