I grew up in the small town of Orwigsburg, Pa., where I resided all of my life before moving to Sandpoint. I attended Blue Mountain High School, where I participated in cross country and track and field, a sport that I ended up falling in love with. I went on to attend and run for DeSales University (with other brief stints at Susquehanna University and Elizabethtown College) and graduated with a bachelor’s degree in sport communication with a minor in sport management. I remember just how great it made me feel when I was mentioned in my hometown newspaper. I want to be able to give that feeling to every athlete in Bonner County, no matter how big or small their accomplishments are. As an athlete myself, I know how many hours of work are put in on a daily basis, and that hard work deserves to be recognized. It is my goal to cover as much of the Bulldogs, Spartans and Wampus Cats as I can. I want to work with every athlete, parent, coach, administrator and the community to ensure the best stories are published. | April 27, 2023 1:00 AM

SANDPOINT – Sandpoint Tennis defeated Lake City, 8-4 on Tuesday to remain undefeated on the season.

Girls doubles led the way for the Bulldogs. Sydney Webb and Aubrey Knowles won a quick 6-1, 6-0 match at Travers Park to start off the day. Maile Evans and Patch Howard followed by defeating Adeline Smith & Sophia Olson to complete the sweep.

Maisie Brazill, who returned to the lineup on Tuesday after missing the last match, secured the lone victory in girls singles with a three-set win over Lake City’s Christina Glass.

“Maisie continued her winning ways after going through wisdom teeth removal last week. That’s no fun. Her two-hour, three-set match was certainly a test of her grit and will to win,” head coach Kent Anderson said.

Sandpoint also swept the Timberwolves in mixed doubles. Fisher Dail and Berkley Cox defeated their opponents 6-2, 6-1; Brennan Johnson and Ellie Tutin also won in just two sets.

On the boys side, it was Jacob Dawson and Matthew Norton both securing two-set victories in the number one and number two boys singles matches. For doubles, it was Owen Larson and Ivan Steinbachs who made quick work of their opponents, 6-2, 6-0.

“It’s always fun to go up against the 5A schools and it’s even more fun to bring home a win,” Anderson said.

The Bulldogs (8-0) will be back in action on April 28-29 at the Inland Empire Tournament in Spokane, one of the largest high school tournaments in the United States.
