Kelly Gold Dance Team is off the a great start this season. We have grown our team to 17 talented, dedicated, wonderful dancers. Kelly Gold has been working very hard on choreography before competition season this winter. We are excited to announce our team will be competing in all four dance team categories, as well as 3 soloists this year. When we’re not learning choreography, and cleaning competition routines, we are rallying for our school football team. Keep an eye out for us on the sidelines and out on the field at halftime for our next two home games.

The Girls’ Golf Team has had tremendous success this season heading into JV and Varsity Districts this week. With a team of 16 athletes, we have gotten to play 2 JV teams and a Varsity team this season. All are undefeated in league play.
Our JV 1 Team has played in two Varsity, 18 hole Invitationals as well as JV events beating every 4A Varsity SIC District Team in both tournaments and several 5A Varsity teams. They have done amazingly well and go into JV Districts heavily favored to win.
Our JV 2 team has played fantastic as well this season winning every match they played against the other JV league teams in our District. The only second place they took all season was to our own JV 1 team in the Emmett Tournament so we consider that a double win. They wrapped up their season on September 22.
Our Varsity team has set new school records twice this season posting the lowest team scores in school history only to turn around 3 weeks later and beat that all time low score by 11 strokes recording another new all time lowest team score! They have won all league play, the Jack Jones Invitational, the Madison Invitational and the Jerome Invitational along with many individual medals and medalist titles this season against 4A and 5A opponents. Their District Tournament is Wednesday, September 28th to go to State.
Our coaching staff is extremely proud of this group of 16 girls who have worked hard, achieved goals and improved together this season! They have been a delight to Coach and will have an exciting District Tournament week to come!

Our season concludes at the high school mountain bike state championship on Saturday October 8th at Bogus Basin. Please join us at the Bogus State Championship, check out the fun and cheer our team to success!

Isabella Manning graduated in the spring and is now competing at Texas Tech University. She competed in Reined Cow Horse and went on to place 13th in the country at Nationals.
Ava Manning, a junior this year, competed at State in Cutting. Wyatt Beckley, a junior this year, competed at State in Cutting, as well as Rifle. Anneliese McCurry, a junior this year, competed at State in Barrel Racing and went on to Nationals. She placed eighth in the country.
The Rodeo season goes all year. The State competition is in June, and Nationals are in July.

After the first state championship in 25 years last year and graduating 13 seniors, the Varsity team has gone through some growing pains but has been successful overall. With a 5-2-2 conference record, we currently sit in 2nd place behind undefeated Caldwell. Junior Andrew Nguyen has led the team with 8 goals and 7 assists, Senior Colton Crawford (who missed two weeks due to injury) has 7 goals, and Sophomore goalkeeper, Justin McGrew has averaged less than 1 goal against per game. We look forward to meeting Caldwell again in the district tournament for a chance to go to State. The JV team has also had a great season and currently sits in 2nd place in the conference. |

The girl's soccer program is having a great season. Both the JV and Varsity teams are undefeated in league with 3 games left. Our JV team has outscored their opponents 70 to 3 and the varsity team has outscored opponents 57 to 10 with 16 different players scoring goals. The varsity team just played a #1 state ranked Boise High team Saturday and it was an exciting 2-1 game until the last 12 minutes and the girl's ended up losing 3-1. Definitely the most exciting game of the year. Celebrating our seniors this Thursday at senior night where we get to honor 10 seniors that have given so much to the program over the last 4 years. |
