Sports


The local Red Paws Soccer Club teams have been playing games this spring from here to Boise, with the U-15 team defeating Ida-Ore 4-0 on the Weiser High School soccer field on Wednesday, April 23. The U-12 team played an earlier game against Ida-Ore’s U-12 in a very close match. In Boise on Saturday, May 3, they recorded two more wins. Red Paws was established in January, 2024, and in its second year, provides development opportunities for a wide age range of soccer players. The teams are coached by Trine Lonberg and Kyle Heller.
