Coach Travis Noble and the Boys’ Varsity Basketball team aimed to start the new year with an over .500 record. Their sights were set on the Rocky Mountain Grizzlies on January 7, 2025. The Wolves were also looking to bounce back after losing to Rocky 51-54 earlier in the season on December 3, 2024. Kole Hudson (Sr.) and Alex Ko (Sr.) lead the Wolves to 41-17 heading into halftime. The Grizzlies tried to mount a comeback later in the game. However, the Wolves scored 31 points in the 2nd half giving the Grizzlies no chance for a comeback.

According to Max Preps, Timberline now ranks 12th in Division 6A Idaho Basketball. Come support the Boys’ Varsity Basketball team tomorrow January 10, 2025, against the Borah Lions @ Borah High School at 7:30 PM.

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.
