THS Varsity Football Hyped After Road Win

Timberline Varsity Football team has exceeded expectations this season jumping to a 3 – 1 record on the year after their 21 – 13 win over one of the most physical teams in the state of Idaho, the Meridian Warriors. The Wolfpack rebounded after a heartbreaking 19 – 28 loss at home against the Boise Braves. This game against Meridian was a battle of defenses. There were only seven points scored in the first half coming from Timberline receiver Hudson Lewis. They added to their lead by scoring two more touchdowns coming from receiver Hudson Lewis and running back Brody Engroff. After the scoreboard hit triple zeros, the Wolfpack joined in a post game prayer circle to pray for a speedy recovery to a injured Timberline offensive lineman who exited the game in the second quarter.

About the Contributor

James Mares, Teacher Assistant/Staff Reporter

My name is James Mares, and I’m a senior here at Timberline High School. I have never missed a day of school in my life and have never been tardy in my life. Hopefully they make an award and Pawprint has a student spotlight post about me at the end of the school year because that's a hard thing to do for 13 years straight. I’ve always been obsessed with sports journalism, which led me to join the Pawprint staff this year. I’m new to photography and have always wanted to be on the sidelines of football games taking professional photos. I bring a wealth of football knowledge and sports background that I hope to share through this outlet. This year, I hope to improve my journalistic skills and contribute to making our Pawprint a must-read for everyone. Outside of journalism I am involved in the Timberline Wolfpack Marching Ensemble and Timberline Concert Band. I have been playing trombone since the fifth grade and have fallen in love with marching band. Marching band is the reason why I still love band and have continued it all the way through high school.
