5A SIC title races coming down to final two weeks; BK’s streak against 4A SIC snapped
The Borah High football team showed no signs of a hangover Friday at Dona Larsen Park.
A week after knocking off Rocky Mountain and upsetting the traditional 5A SIC power structure, the Lions followed through with a 40-20 victory over Timberline.
The win keeps Borah (5-2, 3-0 5A SIC Pod B) unbeaten in pod play and in the running for its first conference or pod title since 2012. The winner of each 5A SIC pod gets a bye into the state quarterfinals.
Borah junior quarterback Jake Standlee completed 21 of 26 passes for 314 yards and two TDs. He also caught a 22-yard TD pass from Ilaisa Makaafi, who ran for 145 yards and two second-half TDs.
Borah held a 27-20 halftime lead before shutting out Timberline the rest of the way. Chase Nett led the Lions defense with a 92-yard, pick-six interception return.
Layton Wagner threw a pair of TDs for Timberline (2-5, 0-3), a 40-yard score to Conner Riddle and a 5-yarder to Gavin Kohl.
MOUNTAIN VIEW 48, MERIDIAN 7
The No. 1-ranked Mavericks raced out to a 48-0 halftime lead en route to their 10th straight win over rival Meridian.
Caden Hansen ran for 132 yards and two TDs as Mountain View (7-0, 3-0 5A SIC Pod A) scored on its first two possessions and never looked back.
Mountain View defensive tackle Kyler Chan returned a fumble 66 yards for a TD to lead a defense that allowed Meridian (3-4, 2-1) only a 10-yard Caden Clark TD pass in the third quarter.
COLUMBIA 43, NAMPA 28
Columbia running back Allamar Alexander found the end zone six times as a physical ground game led the Wildcats (3-4, 1-2) to a come-from-behind win. Nampa was up 15-14 at halftime.
“We were able to make a couple of adjustments at halftime, and that definitely helped,” Columbia coach Rich Davis said.
MIDDLETON 28, BISHOP KELLY 6
Landon Ebbers caught two touchdown passes and made a pair of interceptions as the No. 3 Vikings snapped No. 2 Bishop Kelly’s 19-game winning streak against 4A SIC opponents.
Jackson Leiby also caught two TD passes as Middleton (5-2, 5-0 4A SIC) quarterback Darin Post carved up the Bishop Kelly defense for 257 yards and four TDs. Bishop Kelly (6-1, 4-1) had allowed six combined points in its previous three games.
Middleton’s defense pitched a shutout until BK’s Thomas Rizzo scored on a 2-yard TD run with 3:10 left in the fourth quarter.
FRUITLAND 62, WEISER 3
No. 1-ranked Fruitland (7-0, 3-0 3A SRV) racked up 606 yards of offense, including 480 on the ground, and held Weiser to 137 yards and a lone field goal en route to its 14th straight win.
Jonathon Fagen ran for 144 yards and two TDs on four carries, Canaan Bourcy added 115 yards on 13 carries, and Jordan Eggers finished with 93 yards and two TDs on six carries to lead the Grizzlies’ balanced attack.
The win clinched the defending state champ a playoff berth.
MCCALL-DONNELLY 21, NEW PLYMOUTH 16
McCall quarterback Ben Knudson ran for a TD and caught the game-winning, 10-yard halfback pass from Kyle Sellers with four seconds left as the Vandals (3-3, 2-1 2A WIC) upset conference-leading New Plymouth.
Teegan Gross ran for 165 yards and a pair of TDs for New Plymouth (3-2, 2-1).
NAMPA CHRISTIAN 20, MELBA 13
Braxton Bujak scored the go-ahead touchdown from 17 yards out and added a two-point conversion to help the Trojans beat the Mustangs.
Scott Martinez led all rushers with 91 yards for Melba (3-3, 2-1), narrowly besting Bujak’s 88 for Nampa Christian (1-5, 1-2).
WILDER 58, HORSESHOE BEND 24
Ezequiel Vargas ran for 127 yards and four TDs, and he added 72 yards and another TD receiving to keep the Wildcats (4-1, 2-0) unbeaten in 1A Division I WIC play.
Wilder QB Pablo Martinez finished 9 of 10 for 165 yards and three TDs, and Benji Escuitia added 153 yards and a TD on 18 carries.
THURSDAY’S GAMES
EAGLE 35, CENTENNIAL 28
Luke Favillo rushed for two touchdowns and the Eagle High football team grabbed three interceptions Thursday night to beat Centennial 35-28.
Quarterback Devan Bridgewater scored on a 13-yard run in the third quarter to give the Mustangs a 35-14 lead. Centennial quarterback Dayne Koch tossed a 19-yard touchdown pass in the fourth quarter that pulled the Patriots within a touchdown, but that was as close as they could get.
Koch contributed 179 passing yards and 57 rushing yards. Victor Ngalamulume rushed for 111 yards and a TD.
The Patriots actually outgained the Mustangs 361-348 and had the edge in first downs 20-18, but lost the turnover battle 4-1.

SKYVIEW 69, MOUNTAIN HOME 41
Skyview’s Wyatt Storer and Mountain Home’s Mykal Castillo combined for 11 touchdown passes but the Hawks were never in trouble.

Storer was 27-for-34 and spread his six TD passes to five different receivers.
