Sandpoint 7, Stillwater Christian 1

SANDPOINT — Six different players found the back of the net as the host Bulldogs trounced the Cougars for their fourth straight win Friday night in a non-league match at War Memorial Field.

Senior Huxley Hall, after a pass from freshman Wesley Drube, made his way into the box and drilled a close-range shot that put Sandpoint on the board first during the 20th minute. An own goal by Stillwater Christian three minutes later gave the Bulldogs a 2-0 advantage, and they ran with the contest from there.

During the 30th minute, Hall sent a cross to senior Jack Treman, who eventually fired in his first goal of the season. Sophomore Alvaro Santos then extended the lead to four goals during the 32nd minute, once again assisted by Hall.

Two minutes into the second half, sophomore Hugo GilRuiz jumped on a pass from sophomore Dixon Reed and put it into the back of the net. During the 55th minute, senior Logan McGrann showed off his foot strength by scoring on free kick from about 10 yards outside the box, burying it into the top right-hand corner of the net to make it a 6-0 game.

After conceding a goal in the 63rd minute, senior Travis Morgan closed things out during the 70th minute with his first goal of the season, assisted by sophomore Blake McGrann — his first career varsity assist.

"Stillwater is a physical team and I thought we dealt with that well," Sandpoint High head coach Dan Anderson said. "They also employed a low block, which we at first struggled to break down, but began moving the ball quicker and moved off the ball to create space for ourselves and teammates. Ultimately, we were rewarded for it."

Freshman goalkeeper Tate Gilman played in the second half and recorded four saves for Sandpoint (4-0), which will look to remain undefeated when they host Moscow Tuesday for their first 5A Inland Empire League match.
