Alamogordo's golf teams made the most of a busy two days, sweeping the team and individual titles at Monday's Ruidoso Fall Classic before posting top-three finishes at Tuesday's Rio Rancho Shootout.

At Twin Warriors Golf Club on Tuesday, the Alamogordo boys shot 309 to finish second, five strokes behind champion Los Alamos and four ahead of La Cueva.

Brody Wright and Dyson Wright each carded a 72 to tie for second individually. For Brody Wright, that was a seven-stroke improvement on his round a day earlier. Landon Wright placed ninth with a 77, Kolton Stagner tied for 12th at 79, Andrez Montoya tied for 19th at 81 and Jacobi Saldevar tied for 42nd at 89.

A day earlier at The Links at Sierra Blanca, Alamogordo left little doubt. Dyson Wright fired a 70 to win the boys individual title and lead the Tigers to a team score of 295. Landon Wright was third with a 73, Stagner fourth at 75 and Montoya sixth at 77. Brody Wright tied for seventh at 79 and Saldevar was 12th at 82, putting all six Alamogordo golfers in the top 12.

Armijo claimed the girls individual crown with a 77 as Alamogordo won with a 337. Clore finished fourth at 86, Herrera and Ramsey tied for fifth at 87, and Kylee Wright tied for eighth at 90.

Both teams return to action Oct. 19 at the Buddy Carazzi Invite at Riverside Country Club in Carlsbad.
