Weiser High School’s winning football season didn’t go unnoticed by coaches in the Snake River Valley Conference, who selected a number of Wolverines for league honors.
 The all-team SRV Conference picks were released last week. The post-season team selections are made by the conference coaches.
 The 2019 season was coach Tom Harrison’s second year leading the Wolverines. The Wolverines compiled an 8-2 record (3-1 SRV Conference) and made it to the 3A state championship quarterfinals in November, where they came up short against Timberlake.

Cross country season is definitely over, but you may have seen some Weiser High School wrestlers running around town recently.  
 The Weiser Wolverine wrestling season has begun. Wrestlers are definitely a different breed of athlete. Practices start with grueling runs before the wrestlers even get into the gym, but the real season started this past summer at “Mountain Man Wolverine Wrestling Camp.”

 Unfortunately, the Wolverines continue to seek out their elusive first win of the season, despite a “really good first half,” according to varsity head coach Laraine Harrison. The Wolverines lost the game 38-70.
 The Wolverines have struggled of late with shot selection resulting in poor shooting percentages, but during the first quarter against the Mustangs, the Wolverines shot 50 percent from the field, a vast improvement from previous games.

According to Ancient Greek mythology, Zeus was nursed and raised as an infant by a goat named Amalthea, while hiding in a cave from his father, Cronos.
 One day, while playing with the goat, Zeus accidently broke off her horn. Devasted by what he had done, he used his godly powers and promised Amalthea that the horn would always be filled with what she desired – eternal abundance.
 Today, the word cornucopia, coming from the Latin roots meaning horn of plenty, is a symbol of thankful abundance.

 The Wolverines won’t match up physically with some of the bigger teams in the Snake River Valley Conference, but what they lack in size they plan to make up for with quickness on both ends of the court.

Titan girls basketball: A study in firsts

There is something extra special about firsts.  We’ll always revere George Washington as being our first president; Amelia Earhart as the first woman to make a solo transatlantic flight; and Neil Armstrong as being the first man to walk on the moon.  
 And so it was, as I sat on the bleachers at Midvale High School on Nov. 18, that I realized I was a witness to a host of firsts as the Tri-Valley Lady Titans stepped onto the court for their first game of the season under the direction of new varsity coach Jeff Springer, who was assisted by Kristin Nolte and Dennis Holmes.
