in remarkable baseball season |
|
May 2, 2015 |
Just in case you're not aware, we have a
championship team going on here.
The Bonners Ferry High School Badger Baseball
team muscled their way through their
Intermountain League schedule with only one
loss, winning the League Championship.
Along the way, the 3A Badgers had a no-hitter, a
one-hitter, defeated 4A Sandpoint, and wrapped
up multiple opponents early in five inning games
through application of the mercy rule with 10+
run leads.
On Friday, already having sealed the league
championship, the Badgers marched into hostile
territory to play the 5A Post Falls Trojans on
the road, and came away with a 10-6 win.
Take a glance at the Sports section of NewsBF,
where you'll see the list of stories peppered
with accounts of Badger baseball victories over
the past few weeks, and read about some
remarkable high school athletes and their
accomplishments this season.
If you are looking for some very fun and
exciting baseball, you still have a chance to
see this team in action. The District Tournament
is next up, to determine who goes to the Idaho
State Championship. As League Champion, the
Badgers earned the right to host the District
Tournament. It will begin this Monday, May 4, at
the BFHS Baseball Field in Bonners Ferry.
All Intermountain League teams will be present

Coach Tom Turpin. Bonners Ferry's first game
will be Monday at 2:00 p.m. when the Badgers
take on Priest River. The following day,
Tuesday, will be the championship game with the
winner going to the State Tournament.
