After going 6-0 in league play and sweeping the
IML district matches, the Bonners Ferry boys
soccer team traveled to Twin Falls and the
Sunway Soccer Complex and came away today with a
third place state trophy. The Badgers opened state play against South Fremont High School of St. Anthony, winning the bout 1-0 with junior Victor Mendez finding the back of the net 25 minutes into the first half, with an assist from junior Jesus Mendez, one of ten shots on goal for the Badgers. In the goal, Badger All-IML senior Garrett Skeen fended six of eight shots on goal made by the Cougars. On Friday, the Badgers faced off against the Gooding Senators, who won the state 3A championship, and fell 2-0, sending the Badgers into the consolation bracket, where they faced off today against the Redskins of Teton High School, Driggs. That game went scoreless until the second half when All-IML senior midfielder Keaton Tremble put through the goal at the 45:00, and the Badgers held on to win, 1-0. Skeen was credited with eight saves on 11 shots on goal. |
