BONNERS FERRY — With school just around the corner, the time has come again for the reawakening of school sports.
The players take to the gyms, tracks, and fields, under the guidance of their coaches, to learn and train. Badger pride, steeped in history, echoes on the players’ faces, from the eager youths awaiting their first chance to represent themselves and their school, to the seniors, facing their last years as Badgers before taking on a whole new world. If the eager enthusiasm of the players is any indication, this promises to be a good year for the Badgers.
