Timberlake gets by Spartans 38-13 By Don Gronning
Of The Miner SPIRIT LAKE – The Priest River Spartans lost 38-13 to Timberlake Friday, Oct. 14. “It was a disappointing loss for sure,” Priest River coach Shane Douglas said. “We started slow, made some early mistakes that got us down 21-0 in the first quarter.” The Spartans started to move the ball in the second quarter scoring on a 20-yard Anthony Storro to Collin Dietrick pass play. Caleb Blancher kicked the extra point. Storro made a tackle on the one-yard line to seemingly prevent a Timberlake touchdown with 2 seconds in the half. But the referees ruled it a touchdown and Priest River went into the half down 28-7. The Spartans came out and scored early in the third quarter
on another Storro to Dietrick pass, this one a 15-yard play. The extra

point was blocked. The Spartans didn’t get in the end zone again. “We just didn’t finish our offensive drives and Timberlake consumed a lot of the clock the
second half with their ball control running offense,” Douglas said. The Spartans had 189 yard rushing, led by Blancher, who On Deck: At Bonners Ferry: Friday, Oct. 21, 7 p.m.
picked up 100 yards. The Spartans also had 189 yards receiving, led by Dietrick with 83 yards and two touchdowns on five catches. The Spartans focus now is on Bonners Ferry. “We win the game, we go to state. We lose our season is over,” Douglas said. Bonners Ferry and Priest River are tied for second in the Intermountain League, with a 1-1 record. They are behind Timberlake and ahead of Kellogg. Bonners Ferry beat Kellogg 34-6 last week. The Bonners Ferry game will be played in Bonners Ferry Friday, Oct. 21, at 7 p.m.

plays,” Selkirk coach Jeremy Link said. “It was hard to stop their run-
ning attack.” Link said the Rangers defensive line was one of the highlights. “We played well on the defensive line,” Link said. The defensive line, comprised of Wyatt Stoddard, Brayden Taylor, Jared Taft and Steven Issikides, were responsible for six quarterback sacks. In addition, Stoddard and Hunter Carmen pounce tackled an Inchelium player in the end zone for a safety after Issikides knocked the ball out of the quarterback’s
hand. It was the Rangers’ sole score on the night.

seven of 29 passes for 102 yards and an interception. Peter McAnerin led the Rangers in tackles, with 14. Carmen had 10 tackles. The Rangers missed the play of Tristan Chantry, who had to attend a prescheduled event. The Rangers have a 2-6 overall record. They are 0-3 in Northeast 1B North conference play.

Lady Grizzlies balance week with win, loss By Sophia Aldous Of The Miner
NEWPORT – The Newport High School girls’ soccer team won a match against Riverside last Tuesday, Oct. 11 at a home game and lost to Lakeside at an away game Thursday, Oct. 13. Their 6-5 win against Riverside marked the team’s first win of the season. The Lady Grizzlies were down 3-1 at halftime, but after an invigorating pep talk from assistant coach Laura Variety, the team came out strong to take control of the pitch back from the Rams. Lydia Jurgens started the game at defense, but moved to forward in the second half. “She was on fire,” said coach Jeremy Lewis. “She had four hard earned goals and a great assist to Cydni Lewis. I’m so happy for the girls and our first league win. Paige Dice is getting more comfortable in goal and we are steadily playing better.” Newport had 12 shots on goal with seven saves and On Deck: Vs. Freeman: Thursday, Oct. 18, 5 p.m.
Riverside had 15 shots on goal with five saves. Though Newport went on to lose to Lakeside 3-0 last Thursday, Lewis said the girls played well in the rain. He described the defense with Aryonna Willouby, Corrina Cauchy, and the Jurgens sisters, Emily and Lydia, as, “Getting better every game.” “Emily Jurgens in particular has really taken her defensive roll to another level,” said Lewis. “We have a couple tough games next week to finish the season, but I think we are going to get another win.” Newport had five shots on goal and Lakeside had 18. Lakeside had four saves and Newport had 12. The Grizzlies will face the Freeman Scotties at Ellersick Field for Seniors’ Night Thursday, Oct. 18 at 5 p.m.
