BONNERS FERRY — Badger football (1-2) led 24-0 going into half-time then had to pull out all the defensive stops in the second half to win their first victory of the season over the 3A St. Maries Lumberjacks (0-2) of the Central Idaho League.
The Badgers led 8-0 in the first quarter after a rushing score from Spiro Petras at the two-yard line and a two-point conversion off a rush by quarterback Brody Rice.
Bonners kept up the pace in the second quarter with linebacker Conrad Hiatt sacking the Lumberjack quarterback on the first play. With five minutes left in the half, Rice connected with wide receiver Cooper Higgins for a 31-yard touchdown. Rice faked a field goal kick instead opting for a two-point conversion and seeing Jake Solt in the endzone.
