High school
Watching Isiah Harwell play basketball is a little like watching Michael Jordan appear in Space Jam. Century’s star freshman doesn’t have the same talent, but he sticks out in the same way, almost cartoonishly: He’s a 6-foot-5, athletic forward, towering over most of the players who are thre…
To get an introduction to Julian Bowie’s game, just talk to the guy. Pocatello’s star sophomore guard may be a quiet kid, but he chooses his words carefully, an effective and efficient approach that belies his young age. He might not answer your question with a long-winded monologue, but you…
Dozens of supporters gathered on Monday as Raquelle Trogden stood inside the high school she attends because of her exploits at the school she plays soccer at — to announce her new school.
After capturing its third straight 2A state championship earlier this year, West Side dominated the postseason awards. The Pirates swept the four major awards voted on by the 2A District 5 coaches.
Idaho State University
In the moments after Idaho State dropped an 81-74 overtime decision to Northern Arizona Saturday afternoon, assistant coach Courtnie Smith turned to head coach Seton Sobolewski.
Seton Sobolewski had a lot to like about the way his Idaho State club opened Big Sky play Thursday night. Montana Oltrogge set a season-high in points. Tomeika Whitman recorded a double-double. Most importantly, Idaho State recorded an 83-40 road win over Portland State, but the revealing pa…
These games don’t really matter. Idaho State will not be judged off its non-conference slate. It will not be defined by its November record. But through a half-dozen games, the Bengals have not shown much they can hang their hat on.

Nearly 24 hours after he cleaned out his Holt Arena office while high school state championship games were being played a few hundred feet away, Rob Phenicie was in a corner room at the dome, fulfilling one of his final duties as Idaho State head coach.
After five seasons at the helm of Idaho State University’s football program, Rob Phenicie will not return as coach of the Bengals following Saturday’s game against the University of Idaho, according to ISU officials.
Idaho State entered 2021 with expectations that it would turn the corner. Historically, coach Ryan Looney has shown to flip around programs in three years.
Of course it ended that way. Games between two 1-8 teams should not be normal. They should be silly and sloppy and weird because, well, both teams have nothing to lose.
Prep Stars
Former Century High standout Leo Behrend was named an NAIA Division II men’s basketball third-team All-American, announced Thursday.
A lot has changed for Tristen Hoge and Kyler Manu since they celebrated Highland’s 5A state championship together in 2014.
