PREP ROUNDUP: Priest River volleyball routs Rams for fourth straight win

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 9, 2024 9:55 PM

VOLLEYBALL

Priest River 3, Riverside 0

PRIEST RIVER — Junior Jayda Storro had a team-high 18 assists and six aces and the Lady Spartans scored 11 of the last 14 points in the third set to complete a sweep of the Rams (25-22, 25-21, 25-15) in a non-league match at Priest River High on Monday.

"We were very off tonight and we told them, it's okay for a couple of girls to be off, but when the whole team is off that's a big effect," Priest River High head coach Katlyn Ward said. "The third match we finally found our vibe and figured things out."

Sophomore Raygn Turner led Priest River for the second match in a row with 10 kills. Coach Ward said the sophomore outsider hitter is falling into her role nicely and does a good job at keeping the energy up.

On defense, junior Toni Marinello led the way with 19 digs while junior Aleigha Jensen added two blocks.

Priest River (4-0), which has now won four straight matches, hosts Kellogg today.

Holderman tabbed as honorable mention

CLARK FORK — Following Clark Fork High sophomore Cameron Stewart, junior Solomon Holderman was tabbed an honorable mention in Idahosports.com’s “8-man Football 3-star Awards” weekly column for his performance last week against Wallace. Solomon, who usually plays at tight end and defensive back for the Wampus Cats, carried the ball 15 times for 119 yards and two touchdowns in the loss to the Miners.
