At Skyview High School, the goal for the Hawks’ volleyball team is simple: defend the crown.  It’s something they’ve successfully done at each of the past five state tournaments (two at the Class 5A level, three at the Class 4A level). 

This year’s team went undefeated against Idaho competition and rarely, if ever, dropped a set to a Gem State foe.  Both Alex Bower (a BYU commit) and Melissa Eyer accomplished the rare feat of winning four state titles in four years at the varsity level.

The Hawks only received the #3 seed at this year’s 4A State Tournament in Post Falls, thanks to a grueling schedule that featured out-of-state losses to nationally acclaimed teams.  Regardless, the Hawks dispatched Twin Falls, Lakeland, Pocatello and Bonneville to win the title, finishing 4-0 and did not lose a single set at state.

Sugar-Salem won its first championship ever in girls soccer this past season.  Veteran coach Scott Terry led the Diggers to the title just hours after also coaching the Sugar-Salem boys soccer team to a 3A championship, becoming the first coach in Idaho soccer history to accomplish that feat.

The Diggers were not merely good in 2023, they were dominant.  Sugar-Salem went a perfect 21-0.  They scored a total of 135 goals, or over six goals per game.  But the most impressive number came on defense, where the Diggers allowed a total of eight goals all season.

And lest opponents think the worst of it is over, there were only five seniors on this year’s team.  Freshman Andee Petterson was named the Mountain Rivers Conference Offensive Player of the Year, and junior Isabelle Tuttle earned the Defensive Player of the Year award.  So….yeah, these Diggers aren’t going anywhere.
