PREP SOCCER: Sandpoint boys shut out Post Falls

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 13, 2023 1:00 AM

Sandpoint 4, Post Falls 0

SANDPOINT — Four different Bulldogs scored as Sandpoint boys soccer blanked Post Falls 4-0 at War Memorial Field Tuesday.

In the first half, the Bulldogs put a lot of pressure on Post Falls’ defense, getting quality shots off shortly after the first whistle blew. Sandpoint’s Logan McGrann was the first to score on a ball from Jett Longanecker during the 24th minute. Before halftime, Luke Leavitt was able to score a goal of his own, assisted by Issac Schmit, to put the Bulldogs ahead 2-0.

In the second half, Jett Longanecker scored off a pass from Caiden Gion during the 46th minute. Eoin Eddy would score the final goal for the Bulldogs, assisted by Jett Longanecker to help Sandpoint secure the 4-0 victory.

Kai Longanecker had four saves in goal for Sandpoint as he posted his third shutout of the year.

“We were able to find the outside and create multiple chances on goal,” head coach Tanner French said. “Overall, it was a solid performance from the group, and we were able to play our entire roster as an added benefit. Dan (Anderson) and I will take a 4-0 win any day of the week.”
