"My hats off to both of our high school-aged teams competing in the 3BR this past weekend," head coach Ryan Carruth, who formerly was the head boys soccer coach at Priest River High, said. "Both groups have put in a lot of work the last four months, and to finally see the quality of soccer demonstrated, was highly rewarding. Playing our brand of soccer takes hard work and is not easy. I am looking forward to continuing the journey with these young men as we learn to grow together in soccer and in life."
