Badger season off to great start |

The last day of August marked opening day for
the Badger sports season, and for the football
and soccer teams, it was a most auspicious
start. In boys soccer, Steffen Robles led the Badgers with a hat trick in a 9-0 shut out against Orofino, and the girls won their match against the Maniacs, 3-0. Girls coach Erin Delude couldn't be more proud. "We graduated 10 and the girls know they have big shoes to fill," she said. "I am proud of how they are working as a team and supporting each other." After all the brouhaha over naming this year's Badger football coach, Ed DePriest, backed by most of those with whom he competed for the slot, opened the season with 50-plus players on the roster, and they went out Saturday night and crushed the Libby Loggers, 35-14. On the JV side, the score was even more impressive, with the Badgers winning a shutout in front of the home crowd, 32-0. The Badgers are on the road Friday night against Newport. |
