The Wolverines played three soccer games last week, two in district competition and then traveled to Twin Falls for a chance to participate in the state competition.
“What a competitive week. Congratulations boys’ soccer!” said Coach Kathy Bokides.
Tuesday, October 13, was the first district game with Weiser hosting the Fruitland Grizzlies. Weiser had a strong first half, keeping the ball on the Fruitland side of the field with quite a few attempts at goals. The offensive plays were good, but the shots were a little off, so nothing went into the net.
Weiser hosted the Homedale Trojans in an epic battle this past Friday at home.
Homedale was undefeated in their Snake River Valley schedule and Weiser was looking to improve their 2-1 SRV record. Homedale is also the reigning SRV champions and state contenders so the Wolverines knew that this battle was going to be a tough one.
Coming off of an enormous game and win against McCall, Weiser had some momentum going and were excited about the match-up.
The Lady Wolverines finished up their regular season play with a 6-4 record in the Snake River Valley (SRV) Conference, which gave them a third place conference ranking.
Their placing pitted them against the sixth place, Payette Pirates Saturday afternoon to begin their quest to secure a 3A Idaho State Volleyball Tournament berth in Twin Falls on October 30-31, 2020.
The Lady Wolverines traveled to the home of Snake River Valley (SRV) rivals, the Fruitland Grizzlies last week for the final regular season pairing of the year, and the Lady Wolverines worked hard and battled, but came up short, losing in 5-sets, 25-23, 21-25, 25-20, 21-25 and 13-15
Weiser vs. Parma
October 15
Following a tough defeat to Fruitland earlier in the week, the Lady Wolverines needed to refocus their efforts and finish out their regular season play with a good showing against the visiting Parma Panthers.
Weiser had their first two back to back wins on October 6 and 8.
The boys played in McCall on Tuesday, then played Fruitland Thursday night in Weiser. Coach Kathy Bokides was proud of the team and how they are coming together.
“The team is beginning to work together rather than individually. They have learned to trust and respect one another. They have moved from an individual to a team effort. Some are learning their actions not only affect themselves, but also their team and school. Sports teach you about life,” Bokides said.
The Weiser Wolverine cross country team participated in one of the larger meets so far this season in Parma. Weiser competed against Parma, Homedale and Payette on Wednesday, October 7. Coach Scott Hale felt the meet was successful for both teams.
“We were able to accomplish our goals for the week. Both the boys’ and girls’ teams got second place out of four teams so things are looking pretty good near the end of the season,” Hale said.
The Lady Wolverines had a busy, but successful week of league play last week starting out with a road match-up against the neighboring Payette Pirates. The Lady Wolverines battled it out with the Pirates, sweeping the match 3-0 in impressive fashion 25-16, 25-16 and 25-7.
Weiser vs. Homedale
Oct. 8
Senior outside hitter, Reagan Doty, wasted no time making her mark in the first set against the visiting Homedale Trojans with an immediate kill. The Wolverines jumped ahead 2-0, but the Trojans quickly tied the set.
Weiser football fans enjoyed an exciting and fun game on Friday night against McCall-Donnelly at Roy Dickerson Memorial Field in Weiser.
Coming off of a huge win against Payette the week prior, the Wolverines were trying to keep their momentum going and stay in the SRV conference hunt. Weiser prevailed with a great win 28-7 against the McCall Vandals.
Weiser took a little bit of time to find their momentum gaining a touchdown in the first quarter of the game from Willy Shirts. Shirts also kicked the extra point for Weiser.
Weiser Wolverine football faced the Payette Pirates this past Friday encompassing Homecoming and senior night all in one.
The Weiser community came out in droves and the hill was once again filled for the fall time tradition.
Coach Tom Harrison gave a speech Thursday to the student body during Homecoming activities showcasing what the football team means to the community.
“These boys represent all of you on the field and off of the field. They truly know what it means to do this and when they win, the entire community wins,” Harrison stated.
Teamwork is the name of the game as the Weiser boys soccer team continues their season.
Tuesday, September 29, the team traveled to McCall for the second game in a row against the Vandals.
It was perfect soccer weather up among the trees. Weiser took the opportunity to change up strategies and try different defensive tactics against the Vandals.
“The game with McCall was pretty even the first half,” Bokides said
