Gainesville High's Justin Cochran, a rising senior, and North Hall's Landry Haynes, also a rising senior, also played well, each firing a two-day 152, tying them for 12th place.
Trojan Jimmy Lloyd was one shot back of his teammate. The rising junior finished tied for 18th with a two-day total of 153.
Michael Green, a rising senior from Rabun County High, finished tied for 28th with a two-day 158. And rising Gainesville High senior Jake Martin fired a two-day 164 to finish 45th.
