Coach Andy Jones and the Girls Varsity Basketball team traveled to Middleton, Idaho on November 15, 2024 to face the Middleton Vikings for their season opener. According to Idaho Statesmen, the Wolves were ranked #7 in the 6A SIC Preseason Poll coming into this game. The Wolves were looking to forget what happened last year when the Vikings came to their home, resulting in the upsetting 45 – 35 defeat. The Wolves kept it close until halftime, with a score of 21 – 37. However, they were held to only 9 points for the rest game, falling to the Vikings 30 – 56.

Come see the Girls’ Varsity Basketball team battle the Boise Braves on November 26, 2024 @ 7:30 PM (HOME), and don’t miss the Boys’ Varsity Basketball team season opener against the Bishop Kelly Knights on November 30, 2024 @ 6 PM (AWAY).

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.
