The Trenches Filled with Wolves Ready to Make a Defensive Stop Late in the 4th Quarter.

Varsity Football this year made up for last season, finishing the regular season with a record of 5-3. They then hosted the Owyhee Storm at Dona Larsen Field for a ¨Winner to State¨ game and went on to beat Owyhee 36-35 in an overtime thriller. The Wolves would then go back to Dona Larsen Field to host the Kuna Kavemen with the hopes of repeating what they did in week two (beating Kuna 31-21). Even with receiver Hudson Lewis (Jr.) having a handful of touchdowns and a back of the end zone, toe-tap catch by receiver Shelby Idol (Sr.), Timberline lost 37-35.

This marks the end of the Timberline Varsity Football season finishing the year with a record of 6-4 and 3rd in the Southern Idaho Conference (SIC).

Way to go Wolfpack!

About the Contributor

James Mares, Lead Away Sports Reporter/Training Lead

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 "Wolf Pack" 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.
