The Bonners Ferry Badger varsity and JV
footballs teams opened their seasons in away
games against the Libby Loggers Saturday, and
while the Badger JV romped to a 25-0 shutout,
the varsity team fell in a heartbreaker, 14-6. It wasn't for want of a rooting section according to Badger fan Tammy Satterlee. "I believe there were more Badger fans than Logger fans," she said. "I have a feeling I am going to be watching more football this year than I have in a very long time." In the varsity game, neither team scored in the opening quarter, but the quarter came to a close with the Badgers poised on the Logger's nine yard line. The Badgers fought their way down and junior Brian Yeomans pushed it across the goal line from one yard out early in the second quarter. The point after attempt failed, and he Badgers ended the half ahead, 6-0. The Loggers answered in the third, pulling to a 7-6 lead, then scored again on a nice pass play with 2:27 left in the game. The PAT was good once again, and Libby won, 14-6. This article will be updated when stats and information become available. The Badgers make their home debut Friday, August 31, when they host Lethbridge. |
