PREP FOOTBALL: Bonners Ferry uses strong second half to defeat Lakeside
MAX OSWALD | Hagadone News Network | UPDATED 10 months, 3 weeks AGO
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 25, 2025 1:00 AM
Bonners Ferry 28, Lakeside 21
BONNERS FERRY — Senior Keenan Maas erupted for 232 rushing yards and three touchdowns as the Badgers outscored the Eagles of Nine Mile Falls, Wash., 22-7 in the second half to complete a non-league comeback win Friday night in their home opener at Bonners Ferry High.
Maas, who scored on a 21-yard run to open the scoring in the first quarter, on a 65-yard run via a direct snap and fake handoff in the third, and on a 2-yard run in the fourth, surpassed 1,000 rushing yards on the season in the winning effort.
Down 21-20 with 4:28 remaining, the Badgers put together a final drive that was capped off by a 1-yard quarterback sneak by junior Alex Stolley with just over one minute to go. The Bonners Ferry defense, which had six total sacks on the night, held on Lakeside's final drive to give the Badgers the 28-21 victory.
Offensively, senior Conrad Hiatt added 108 rushing yards on 11 carries and caught three passes for 18 receiving yards on the evening.
On defense, senior James Morgen and Hiatt tied for a team-high eight tackles while Maas and senior Sulay Abubakari added seven tackles apiece. Morgen and Abubakari had two sacks each and Maas and junior Taylor Dodd both had one sack for the Badgers, which registered eight tackles for losses in total.
Junior Risten Allred hauled in his third career interception in the win for Bonners Ferry (3-2), which hosts Kellogg this Friday for another non-league matchup.
