Girls soccer handed first loss Rachael Horne TVN Staff The Teton girls soccer team allowed their first goals of the season in a 3-2 loss against Snake River at home on Thursday. In the loss, sophomore Ashlie Hopkins suffered a broken ankle and will be out for the season. Hopkins went down in the first half when a Snake player did a slide tackle and caught Hopkins in the ankle and took her down. Snake scored in the 36th minute. Hopkins went down in the 38th and Teton went into halftime uneasy. Coach Sandy Buckstaff said the girls might not have had their heads totally in the game. Snake River capitalized on that and scored two more goals in the first two minutes of the second half. Teton reworked their defense a little and Buckstaff said his team began to outplay Snake River in the second half. The loss, he said, wasn’t necessarily a bad thing. “It was our first real test,” he said. “And we won’t get many real tough tests until state. I’m glad we had this game.” Amanda Otto scored in the 49th minute on an assist from Chloe Place. Abbey Oakley scored in the 70th minute on a corner kick from Kelsey Ward. Teton will play at Snake River Saturday. Sept. 11 in a rematch. Snake River is the top team in the 3A District 5 and has been to state the past several years. They’ve beaten the three other teams in Teton’s district by five or more points this season. Buckstaff said the game showed what they were made of and Teton came back and made it a good competitive game. The Redskins took on Aberdeen Wednesday but scores were unavailable as of press time. Teton defeated Aberdeen in a previous meeting, 9-0. Their next home game is Sept. 23 against Sugar-Salem. To contact Rachael Horne e-mail reporter2@tetonvalleynews.net.

he optimists among us are still holding out for a warm and beautiful September, but in the past week things took an undeniable turn toward fall. A few consecutive evenings of frost can really put the ‘hopper action down, but don’t count out other terrestrials such as ants and beetles, which can continue to be important even with the cooler weather. And if we do end up with a warming trend in September, the hoppers should still rebound and we could still see some great fishing on bigger dries. The Snake on the Jackson side has really come into its own in the last week or so, with dropping levels (2600 cfs. at the Flat Creek

Boys soccer roundup

Rachael Horne TV Staff After losing a 1-0 heartbreaker in last year’s state championship game, the Redskins boy’s soccer team is focused on another successful season. The team has shirts that state, “We didn’t come this far, to only come this far.” The Redskins are 3-1 on Coach Dan Romano the season so far with wins over Rigby, Aberdeen and Bonneville. Though smaller in height, Teton is bigger this year in number of players. They’ll have a development squad for players who didn’t make the Varsity, but still practice with the team. “Our squad looks good again,” said head coach Dan Romano. “We’re stating to come together as a team.” Teton lost six players form last years’ team, including top player Oscar Mejia who will have to miss his senior year due to an injury. He’ll stay with the team as the student assistant. The team has four seniors on this year’s squad in Captain Emmanuel Galicia, Victor Espejel, Drew Bakhshay and Jon Hendren. Romano said they have much more of a team mentality this year and are picking up from where they left off last year. Another strength is that they’ll be in shape. “These guys are fit,” said Romano. They’re also wiling to mentally engage, said assistant coach Jim Miller.

Teton High School Redskins boys soccer was finally able to start off the season with a home game against Rigby last Tuesday afternoon. The weeks of practice prior to this week showed in terms of passing and talking to their teammates to keep the communication open on the soccer field.

“They understand why we are doing certain drills and listen off the field,” said Miller, adding that during the preseason they were practicing twice a day for four hours. Romano expects some competition from Sugar, and South Fremont will be fast. He expects his Redskins to be in the top half of the district. “We want to improve on last season,” he said.

Good Luck Redskins!

We didn’t come this far, to only come this far. Boys soccer team motto

Galicia described this year’s team as unified. “We’re not just a team on the field, but off the field,” said sophomore captain Omar Martinez. Romano said he is proud of the program Teton has built in soccer. “We’d love to see people come out and support us and fill the sidelines,” he said. Teton plays at home Thursday at 5 p.m. against Snake River.
