Girl's soccer finished 3rd at districts

BONNERS FERRY — The Badgers girls soccer finishes third in district and will not be going to state this year.

While there won’t be a trip to state in the team's future, the Badgers defeated St. Marie’s 4-1 in the first round of districts on Friday, Oct. 15. Goals were scored by Markynn Pluid, Morgan Burt and Mia Blackmore.

Bonners Ferry went on to play Timberlake in the second round of districts but lost 2-1.

“Over the course of the season the team has evolved a lot,” said coach Emily Winebark. “They moved from being strong players to being a strong team.”

The Badgers lost to Timberlake early on in the season and beat them later in the season. Winebark said that they fought really hard and gave it all in the last game.

The girl’s soccer team will be losing nine seniors which are eight of their starters next season, Winebark said. She is looking forward to the change in dynamics with smaller teams.

Depending on COVID conditions, there may be a soccer camp for younger players in the spring, Winebark said.
