The Bonners Ferry boys’ soccer team earned the
Intermountain League season title with a pair of
convincing wins last weekend. The Badgers
shutout Orofino 7-0 at home on Friday, then
traveled to St. Maries on Saturday and came away
with a 5-1 victory, leaving the Badgers at 5-0
in league with one game remaining.
Seven different Badgers scored against the
Maniacs, with junior defenders Trevor Pew and
Matthew Gray scoring their first career goals in
the first half, which ended with the home side
up 4-0. Sophomore goalkeeper Caleb Blackmore
played in the field in the second half, scoring
on a penalty kick in the 50th minute and
assisting on senior Griffin Doubrava’s goal in
the 69th minute, earning him an unusual trifecta
of scoring, assisting, and earning a save all in
one game.
Sophomore striker Jake Tremble scored the first
of his three goals 27 seconds into Saturday’s
match, assisted on senior midfielder Jesus
Mendez’s score in the 13th minute, then scored
again in the 28th minute to give the Badgers a
comfortable 3-0 halftime lead.
Tremble collected his second assist in the 55th
minute when he fed senior midfielder Victor
Mendez, and then earned the hat-trick four
minutes later with an unassisted shot from 18
yards to give Bonners a 5-0 lead.
The back four defender group of senior Oscar
Lopez and juniors Pew, Gray and Collin Stone
repeatedly turned away any Lumberjack scoring
opportunities.
The Badgers complete their regular season with
away games at Priest River October 8 and
Stillwater Christian of Kalispell on October 10.
The District I-II playoffs will be held next
week in Rathdrum at the Lakeland soccer complex. |
