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. | August 24, 2022 1:00 AM
BONNERS FERRY —- The Spartans were held scoreless on August 23 against the Bonners Ferry Badgers.
The Badgers attacked the Spartan defense with a barrage of attacks on goal. By the end of the night, the Bonners Ferry squad had scored a baker’s dozen of goals to end the night with a 13-0 win.
Spartan head coach Nick Tucker said the first half the team was aggressive and pressing up. He said his coaching focus is offense and the former head coach focused on defense. It is a “culture change” for the young team and a different form of tactics.
Priest River graduated several seniors that were core to the program.
“Time and experiences will make a huge difference for this team,” he said.
The Spartans will play the Badgers at the end of the season. Tucker said at that time Bonners Ferry will meet a completely different team.
On Saturday, Aug. 27, the Spartans will play Stillwater Christian in Kalispell, Mont.
