I have deep North Idaho roots and graduated from Eastern Washington University with an English degree with a creative writing emphasis with a minor in film. I worked at at the Bonner County Daily Bee before coming to work at the Bonners Ferry Herald in August 2021. I enjoy writing for the paper that my great-grandfather read and covering the same small town community that is still alive today. I cover all things Badger sports, local politics and government, community news, business, outdoors and appear on the 7Bee podcast for the Herald's update. When I'm not working I can be found reading a good book and sipping tea, knitting or attempting to sign opera. | October 21, 2021 1:00 AM
BONNERS FERRY — The Badgers girls soccer finishes third in district and will not be going to state this year.
While there won’t be a trip to state in the team's future, the Badgers defeated St. Marie’s 4-1 in the first round of districts on Friday, Oct. 15. Goals were scored by Markynn Pluid, Morgan Burt and Mia Blackmore.
Bonners Ferry went on to play Timberlake in the second round of districts but lost 2-1.
“Over the course of the season the team has evolved a lot,” said coach Emily Winebark. “They moved from being strong players to being a strong team.”
The Badgers lost to Timberlake early on in the season and beat them later in the season. Winebark said that they fought really hard and gave it all in the last game.
The girl’s soccer team will be losing nine seniors which are eight of their starters next season, Winebark said. She is looking forward to the change in dynamics with smaller teams.
Depending on COVID conditions, there may be a soccer camp for younger players in the spring, Winebark said.
