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. | September 2, 2023 1:00 AM

PRIEST RIVER — The Priest River girls soccer team was defeated by Stillwater Christian, 6-2 at home on Thursday night.
The Spartans started out slow, but closed the game out strong. The girls racked up 24 shots, but only two found the back of the net. Both those goals would be scored by Lizzie McCracken, who also had a team-high 10 shots.
Pavin Coleman, Marley Burgess-Duquette, Katrina Davis and Cheyenne Thompson were all very active on Thursday night; they accounted for the remainder of Priest River’s shots. Goalkeeper Brooklyn Best had seven saves for the Spartans.
“Stillwater has a fast team, which was more challenging for our defense,” head coach Christina Leonard said. “They have a great team and we enjoy playing them.”
No box score available.
