Spartans give St. Maries a run
By Don Gronning Of The Miner
PRIEST RIVER – The Priest River Spartans football team put on a show against St. Maries, with big touchdown passes and a stingy defense. That was the first half. But in the second half St. Maries showed why they’re one of the best high school teams in the state, putting up 31 points in the second half to take a 39-18 win Friday night. “The game started out great for us, we executed well on both the offensive side and defensive side even though St. Maries brought pressure all night on us,” Priest River coach Shane Douglas said. “They were fast strong and frankly deeper than us on the bench.” Priest River scored first, with Tommy Anselmo making a three-yard touchdown run to cap a drive. The point after attempt was unsuccessful, but Priest River came back with another big score,
a 70-yard touchdown pass from Anthony Storro to Colin Dietrick and the Spartans were up 12-0 at the end of the first quarter. St. Maries answered with a second quarter touchdown and completed their 2-point conversion, bringing the score to 12-8 at the half. The Spartans kept up the pressure in the third quarter, with Storro hitting Dietrick for another long touchdown pass, this one a 65 yarder. But St. Maries answered almost immediately, scoring a touchdown and getting the 2-point conversion. “Ultimately, I believe the difference was their depth,” Douglas said. “Our guys played hard all night but got gassed towards the end playing both ways against a physical team like St. Maries. That was the major difference in the game.” He said the Spartans made some mental errors late in the third quarter and the beginning of the
fourth quarter. St. Maries completed three deep passes that hurt the Spartans. Storro had a good night passing, completing 12 of 22 for 230 yards and two touchdowns and one interception. The Spartans gained 105 yards rushing, led by Tommy Anselmo, who picked up 76 yards on 18 carries. Storro rushed for 27 yards on nine attempts and Robbie Anselmo picked up two yards on one attempt. Dietrick had 150 yards receiving and two touchdowns. Tommy Anselmo added 73 yards receiving. Robbie Anselmo picked up seven yards on one attempt. “We are getting better but need to get better in the small details late in the games,” Douglas said. “We want to make sure we have all this ironed out before our league games begin in three weeks.” The Spartans will have a week off next week, then go to Orofino Sept. 30 for a game.

Priest River douses Davenport
By Sophia Aldous Of The Miner
PRIEST RIVER – The girls’ soccer team played an aggressive, literally dirty game Saturday, Sept. 17, at home, beating Davenport 4-2 in the mud and rain. “The girls were covered in mud from the rain, but it was a great, fun game,” says coach Shannon Fraser. Davenport led at the half 1-0, scoring in the sixth minute of the game. The Lady Spartans came out strong in the second half and scored off a direct kick from Melissa Krampert. Then Hannah Brengle scored off an assist from AveryLynn Summers. Then Karah Fink assisted AveryLynn Summer in the 30th minute mark, only to have Davenport score at the 35th minute. However, PRLHS finished strong with a goal in the 38th minute with another goal by Brengle, assisted by Summers. Priest River’s Madison Hemphill held the midfield together in the first half, until the rest of the team found their footing in the second. Krampert and Lillith Hernandez played goalkeeper for PRLHS. Krampert had eight saves and Hernandez had four saves, respectively. Davenport had 14 shots on goal while PRLHS had 24 shots, giving their keeper 20 saves. It was a different story Wednesday, Sept. 14, when Priest River girls’ soccer lost to Timberlake 7-0 at an away game. “It was a hard loss and Timberlake played an amazing game, but the Spartans fought hard and played well despite the score,” says coach Shannon Fraser. Hernandez played goalkeeper for Priest River and played a fantastic game with heart and aggression, Fraser adds. She made 21 saves of the 21 shots and allowed seven goals. Timberlake’s keeper made eight saves of the eight shots. Timberlake made goals in the 10th, 25th, 35th and 39th minute to end the first half 4-0. The Tigers went on to rule in the second half, scoring goals at the 11th, 15th, and 29th minute. The Lady Spartans now have a record of 5-1-3. Their next game is away at St. George’s, Thursday, Sept. 22, at 4 p.m.
