POCATELLO — It will certainly be a challenge, but No. 6 Sandpoint poses a real threat to No. 3 Pocatello in today’s 4A state quarterfinal match.
After some stops for food and refreshments, and to practice at the University of Montana’s Washington-Grizzly Stadium, Sandpoint’s football team will have traveled a combined 12 hours to get to the greater Pocatello area by Thursday night. The team’s buses left Sandpoint High School at approximately 7:00 a.m. Thursday morning to ensure the team would have a chance to be ready and rested for tonight’s matchup against the Thunder.
“Other than just getting out of town early in the morning, it’s been business as usual this week,” head coach Ryan Knowles said. “I’m really looking forward to this matchup. Good teams travel well and we’re a good team, and we’re gonna prove it.”
