Mr. Williams (Nathan, the Bonners coach) has helped us so much throughout life and basketball. My brothers (Brady and Seth) won a state championship in baseball in 2018, and that was so huge for our community, and it showed. We are unbelievably grateful and blessed to have this state championship here.”

can’t believe Bonners Ferry has fallen to the likes of a small town where people cringe when they pass through. Get yourself a scanner and OMG you’ll be amazed at what our city and county officers are doing between there patrol routes. If you enter from the south aka golf course or the north (new big hill) watch out your about to be stopped. Don’t dare have a foreigner plate like Montana, Alberta, Washington and especially California. You have just blown the PC radar for a stop consisting of checking your DL, insurance, vehicle reg, a 27, 28, and 29. Oh if your not in the know a 29 is checking your history and possible flight from a felony or misdemeanor warrant with extradition, if so, ding ding ding you just won a free ride, maybe your vehicle towed or the families day made by stopping in Boundary County.
