Lady Maniacs end season with loss to Bonners Ferry Orofino had trouble holding onto the ball, and the result was a season-ending 63-36 loss to Bonners Ferry in the 3A District I-II tournament Feb. 9. The Maniacs, who end the season at 8-9, turned the ball over 29 times. That allowed the Badgers to crank up their transition game. Orofino hadn't played in eight days, so it started the game "a little sluggish," coach Jerry Nelsen said. Theresa Sykes and Amanda Bonner scored 10 points apiece while Mikayla Moser grabbed nine rebounds. Bonners Ferry Stippich 2 2-2 6, Erickson 3 3-5 11, Pauls 2 0-0 5, Andrews 2 2-4 6, Hyatt 1 4-8 6, Payne 3 2-4 8, Neumeyer 2 3-6 7, Gust 0 0-0 0, Taggert 1 0-0 2, Wall 0 0-0 0, Porter 2 2-2 6, Merz 2 2-6 6.

The Pirates, whom coach Teel Bruner described as “a little bit nervous,” saying “good grief, we couldn’t dribble it, catch it, defend, rebound. We were struggling,” moved to a full court press in the second quarter and knocked off 29 unanswered points in the remaining second quarter and into the third. Senior Austin Blain scored 15 points for the Spartans, who continue tournament play this Saturday at the LCSC Activities Center. Game time is 11:30 a.m. in a loser out battle with Genesee.

Best of luck to the seniors and the rest of the team as they travel to Rathdrum this Friday and Saturday for Districts. The top four in each weight class will advance to State Wrestling in Pocatello Feb. 26 and 27. Good luck team! Each senior wrestler was asked a series of questions with results as follows: Brandon Wolfe – four years at OHS. Brandon would like to thank his mom, Mike and his sister Myrissa; the Coaches and the Uptons. He will most miss the Naked Mile at Kellogg and the long bus rides. Most influential – Preston Walker and my mom. Brandon learned hard work pays off. His record is 16 and 9. Preston Walker – four years at OHS. He would like to thank his family, friends, coaches and the Upton family for all their work on fundraising. Preston will most miss the team, coaches and just the sport of wrestling! Most influential were his dad and team mates. Michael Skinner – four years at OHS. Michael wants to thank his mom and dad for the support, grandma for all the food and my dad and the team for making me work harder, The Uptons for the fundraisers, food and support and love. What I will miss the most is the TEAM. Who was most influential: wrestlers that have gone before me. What he learned most is respect. His record is 38 and 8 (this year) and his motto is: Always do your best because someone is always trying to beat your best. Michael says when he graduates he will go to college (surgeon maybe?). He has a GPA OF 4.0. Todd Kobielosz – three years at OHS. Todd wants to thank the coaches and his grandpa Scott Zarder. He will most miss the fun bus rides and feels his coaches and his grandpa Zarder were most influential to his wrestling. He learned respect and pride from this experience. David Upton - four years at OHS. David would like to thank his Mom and Dad for “supporting me in everything I do, thank you for always being there for me in any situation.” He would also like to thank his brother Justin for helping him become a better wrestler, and thank the coaches for always making him better, on and off the mat. He will most miss Todd making weird noises. Who was most influential: Justin and his matside chats. He says he most learned what to share and what not to share. David’s record is 30 and 6 and his motto is “can’t stop full throttle. When I graduate I will go to a tech school of some sort.” His GPA is 3.8. Jesse Faler – four years at OHS. He would like to thank the coaches, the team and his parents. He will most miss the bus rides and spending the night at Kellogg. Who was most influential: Coaches and my team mates. What he learned most was “how to push myself if I want something bad enough.” Bo Brooks – four years at OHS. I want to thank my parents and coaches for their dedication. Bo will miss the most: All the hours of endless up downs and puking. My dad and the Coaches were most influential and the biggest thing I learned was how to wrestle.
