Football Season Ends For Gooding & Dietrich The Dietrich Blue Devils ended their football season this last weekend in Riggins with a loss to Salmon River High School - 35 to 12 - and they will have wait another year for a shot the state championship. The home field advantage ran out for the Gooding Senator this last weekend with a loss to Shelley H.S. 47 to 7. The Senator came out strong at the halfway point of the first quarter with long touchdown run on their first possession after receiving a punt from Shelley. They held on to that lead until the last four minutes of the second quarter. After that, the game belonged to the Russets who rarely let the Senator cross center field. Although it was a disappointing end, the Senators had a great return to the 3A division. Next year they should be even better.
