The first quarter started with a touchdown followed by an extra point, making it a 7-0 lead. From there it was a absolute blowout. What is it going to take to make the Diamondbacks come out of this drought? With Bonneville increasing to 2-0, Century drops to 0-3.
The Diamondbacks have their next game here against the Highland Rams this coming Friday at 7pm.
Accident on I-84 Caused a Cancelled Game
The Pocatello High School Thunder were supposed to take on the Ridgevue High School WarHawks of Nampa in a non-division matchup last Friday. Unfortunately, the game was cancelled due to a semi truck accident that resulted in the closure of I-84. The game has not yet been rescheduled.
The Thunder have their next game in Twin Falls against the Twin Falls High School Bruins on Friday at 7pm.
HHS Coach Sorrel on Skyline Game
Highland High School Football Head Coach Coach Sorrel talked to the Observer about last Thursday’s win against Skyline High School’s Grizzlies.
When asked what the Rams did best, Coach Sorrel responded, “What it came down to was we made plays when we had to. We weren’t firing on all cylinders. We had some mental mistakes: defense had Two turnovers, and Four forth down stops. We buckled down when we had to. It wasn’t flawless. The offense was running the ball really well.”
Regarding the upcoming game against Century High School, Sorrel said,“The big thing they’re working on is mental mistakes against Century. We need to make sure Century can’t catch and run. We can’t [let] Century get big long plays. Century has a bunch of different looks.”
