Girls wrestling in Idaho is still in its infancy stages, as this past February marked the 4th State Tournament in history.  Rocky Mountain claimed their first girls wrestling title by piling up 106 points, 18 more than second place finisher Eagle.  The Grizzlies boasted six placers overall (the most of any team).

Rocky Mountain’s championship win is even more impressive when you consider that girls wrestling in Idaho currently features an all-classification state tournament.  That means placing amongst the top six (and scoring points for your team) is reserved for the truly elite talent.

Gavin Brown won the 165 pound title for the Grizzlies, while Talea Nichols finished fourth in a crowded 114 pound bracket after winning the state championship a year prior.  235-pounder Reece Moody improved on her performance, taking second in her weight class after finishing third the year before.

Bonneville took the hard path to a state baseball championship, which made the final result that much sweeter.  Under a new format adopted this year, the Bees first had to win a “super regional” over Pocatello and Mountain Home to qualify for state.  Once at state, Bonneville had to navigate a four-team, true double-elimination bracket, and an early 11-9 loss to Twin Falls put the Bees’ backs against the wall.

After eliminating Vallivue 12-2 in the third place game, Bonneville faced Twin Falls again, needing to defeat the Bruins twice to claim the crown.  Bonneville exploded for seven runs in the top of the fifth inning, and the Bees took a 12-5 lead into the bottom of the seventh.  Down to their final three outs, Twin Falls scored five times and brought the tying run to the plate before Bonneville buckled down for the final out and a 12-10 win.

Half an hour later, the Bees and Bruins battled again, this time in a winner-takes-all championship showdown.  This time, it was Bonneville’s turn to rally late.  Trailing 6-4 when the bottom of the seventh began, Bonneville tied the game at 6-6 on a fielder’s choice by Carter Bowen.  Down to their final out, Lincoln Stallings was hit by a pitch, loading the bases for Coltan Spagnuolo.  Spagnuolo was also hit by a pitch, which forced in the winning run and the walk-off state championship win for Bonneville.
