FOOTBALL

Rigby 24, Coeur d'Alene 0

Rocky Mountain 21, Middleton 7

The Southern Idaho Conference preseason favorite earned a business-like win over a Middleton team making its' 5A debut.  IdahoSports.com Player of the Game Tegan Sweaney finished 10-of-14 passes for 249 yards and 3 touchdowns.  His TD throws went to three different receivers: CJ Jacobsen, Carson Adams and Jeff Thompson.

Meridian 36, Eagle 14

The Warriors emerged as a dark horse contender in 2021, earning a trip to the semifinals.  They won't be sneaking up on anyone this year, though, after Friday night's dominant win over Eagle.  Zeke Martinez threw two touchdown passes for Meridian, while Marco Del Rio added two scores on the ground.

Borah 21, Capital 0

The Lions earned a shut out in their season opener over Capital.  Korbin McCarney threw three touchdown passes in the win.  Two went to wide receiver Trace Freeman, while the third went to running back Parker Rushton.

Minico 40, Thunder Ridge 21

Lakeland 28, Preston 0

John Cornish scored three times on the ground for the Hawks (on runs of 22, 60 and 45 yards), as Lakeland pitched a Week 0 shutout against Preston in a neutral site game at Montana Tech University's Bob Green Field.

Homedale 46, Laguna Beach (CA) 14

The Trojans opened their 2022 season in style.  Playing on their brand-new turf field, Homedale defeated a California squad that went 10-2 a year ago.  Trenton Fisher rushed for six touchdowns in the win, while Jaxon Dines was a perfect 12-of-12 passing.

Sugar-Salem 48, Soda Springs 16

They say bad luck comes in threes.  Friday night, the Diggers' bus broke down on the way to Soda Springs. Strike one.  Then, the game was delayed by lightning.  Strike two.  Strike three never came, though, as 3A Sugar-Salem raced past the 2A Cardinals.  Danny Neal threw for 213 yards and a touchdown in the win.

Cole Valley Christian 34, Wendell 21

Senior quarterback Dalton Kranz led the Chargers to a Week 0 win on the road.  Kranz threw two touchdown passes, and rushed for a third score, while Lincoln Gee also found the end zone twice on the ground.


BOYS SOCCER

Timberline 0, Borah 0

Eagle 3, Middleton 0

The Mustangs started the year with a win, thanks in part to an early season call-up.  Freshman Trent Marlett is a freshman and normally plays on the JV team, but Eagle was missing several players who hadn't completed the required ten practices yet.  Marlett made the most of his opportunity, scoring a goal.  Eagle also received goals from Krew Christensen and Foster Hull.

Six of the Vikings' seven goals came courtesy of Cooper Prohaska as Coeur d'Alene flexed its muscles in an Inland Empire League game.

Pocatello 1, Highland 0

The 4A Thunder got the better of the 5A Rams thanks to Lexi Wells' goal.  That goal, coupled with 11 saves from keeper Kirstine Kent, allowed Pocatello to start the year 1-0.

The 4A Hawks sprinted past former conference rival Nampa (now a 5A school) on Saturday.  Tyleigh Quarders found the net four times for Ridgevue in the win.

Homedale 4, Emmett 1

Homedale has started competing in girls soccer after previously not fielding a team.  The Trojans will play an independent schedule in their debut season, and won't be eligible for postseason play.  Still, Friday's 4-1 win over an established 4A program like Emmett is an encouraging sign for Homedale fans.

Coeur d'Alene Charter 22, Grangeville 0

The Panthers not only picked up a win in their season and Intermountain League debut, but according to the Coeur d'Alene Press, they set a new school record in the process.  Among the highlights: six different Panthers registering hat tricks, including Maddie Daigle, Rebekah Hines, Regan Meine, Sofia Peppin, Alexa Sheppard and Cadence Wilson.  Hines also dished out three assists.
