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 5, 2023 1:00 AM
ST. MARIES — Badger football (1-5) defense held the St. Maries Lumberjacks (2-4, 1-0) in the second half — it was a standstill with neither team scoring in the period.
However, the Lumberjacks already had a 28-0 lead at the half and the Badgers were unable to get on the scoreboard, giving St. Maries the win on Sept. 27.
“Defense played a great shutout second half and made great improvements,” said Bonners Ferry head coach Danny Swift.
This is the first game of the season that the Badgers have kept an opponent scoreless in a half.
Bonners Ferry junior quarterback Brody Rice had four completions and 16 attempts for 61 padding yards, average 15.3 yards and .250 completion percentage.
In rushing, Rice had eight carries and 19 yards. Senior Trey Bateman had two carries and six yards. Sophomore Conrad Hiatt had two carries and two yards.
For tackles, Hiatt had three solos and one assisted tackle. Junior Alex Taylor had one solo, Bateman had one solo and one assisted tackle, Rice and sophomore Taysean Spotted Horse had one solo tackle.
Points
St. Maries: Senior Trey Gibson, 4 TDs. Senior Wyatt Holmes and sophomore Kyle Smith with two point conversions.
