1015-mh-Liam PopeI have to admit.  I am the last person to think that I would ever start to follow soccer but after watching first year Blackfoot head coach Liam Pope and his squad (along with the other Bingham County Teams of course) I have caught a little of his passion for this silly game.  Not that I will run out and join the Sunday league or anything mind you but he has certainly piqued my interest in the sport.  For Steve P in Chicago. . . . .

1013-mh-SRGIRLSSOCCER1013-mh-srboyschampsSpent over four hours watching the fifth district soccer tournament at Marsh Valley today and at the end of the day, both Snake River squads wound up winning their championships on penalty kicks.  My hat is off to both of them and I am sure that they will represent well at the state tournament next week or as the boys head coach Trevor Peterson said after the game, “Teams better watch out for us.”

Congratulations Panthers on a job well done!
