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. | December 8, 2022 1:00 AM
For the second year in a row Bonners Ferry High School senior Nick Eastman has been named 3A Boys Soccer All-state second-team player. Eastman played midfielder and striker for the Badger boys soccer.
The 2022 Idaho all-state soccer teams are chosen by the United Soccer Coaches (USC) and Idaho High School Soccer Coaches Association (IHSSCA).
“It’s an honor to be selected as all state, second or first team, especially playing against great players from teams up north and down south,” Eastman said. “I don’t know if the outcome would’ve been the same without my team and coaches pushing to win every game we played. It was a great season not just for me, but I believe for the entire team as well.”
“I am pleased that Nick was selected for All-State honors again this year,” said Bonners Ferry boys soccer coach Paul Bonnel. “He is an imaginative and versatile player. He brings energy, intercity and fun to the game. Moreover, he encourages others to do the same. He is the top scorer in Idaho for good reason; he plays all out from the beginning to end.”
Eastman scored 27 goals and 15 assists in the fall season, averaging 1.3 goals per game.
