Injury-riddled Idaho State women make history in blowout win over Westminster

POCATELLO — When you're starting a new season with what is basically an entirely new team, any early win is a good one. With that in mind, Friday was a very good night for the Idaho State women's basketball team, which beat Westminster University of Salt Lake City 79-30 before 798 fans at ICCU Court at Reed Gym. The home-opening win evened the Bengals' record at 1-1. The Griffins, a Division II program in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference, considered the game an exhibition. With 11 new faces on the roster and injuries piling up, a solid performance like Friday's matters, and head coach Seton Sobolewski, in his 19th season, was happy with the effort. "I thought we played really hard. That was the goal," he said. "I thought defensively we did a good job of disrupting some things, giving us a lot of early transition baskets, especially in the first quarter. A lot of growth from the BYU game and the exhibition game. We're getting better." The Bengals roared out of the gate, shooting 57% in the first quarter, scoring 26 points and forcing eight turnovers, and they never looked back. ISU led 42-18 at halftime, then held Westminster

Commentary: ‘Philly Special’ sinks ISU in triple-overtime home loss to Montana State

POCATELLO — In a game with more twists and turns than a Six Flags roller coaster, Montana State survived a terrific effort from Idaho State and won 28-26 in triple overtime Saturday night at the ICCU Dome. Normally a recap starts in the first quarter, but the way the Bobcats pushed across the deciding points means this one has to begin at the end. As Montana State head coach Brent Vigen put it when all was said and done, “We found another way to win.” On MSU’s first snap of the third overtime, from the ISU 3-yard line, quarterback Justin Lamson pitched back to Dane Steele on what looked like an end-around to the right. But Steele quickly spotted tight end Rylan Schlepp breaking free near the front corner of the end zone and tossed it his way for the winning points. The play brought back memories of the famous “Philly Special” that helped the Eagles beat the Patriots in the Super Bowl, and it was reminiscent of a play Montana used down the stretch last year to beat the Bengals at the ICCU Dome. While that was the game-winner, big plays throughout kept the nearly 10,000 fans on edge.

Five days of razor clam digs begin Saturday

Five days of razor clam digs begin Saturday at Copalis and Mocrocks beaches. “Marine toxins continue to linger above the closure level for Long Beach and Twin Harbors, but thankfully the northern beaches of Copalis and Mocrocks remain low enough for harvest,” state Department of Fish and Wildlife coastal shellfish biologist Bryce Blumenthal said in a news release. “The first set of digs proved to be a challenge for those who made it out, and an increased swell forecast with less deep low tides will make digging even more difficult during this upcoming tide series.”

ISU graduate and former Pebble Creek ski instructor publishes children’s book

SU graduate and former Pebble Creek ski instructor publishes children’s book POCATELLO — A former Pebble Creek ski instructor and Idaho State University graduate has published a book to inspire young children to have the confidence to learn to ski. Josh Kent, the author of the book titled “Send It Sally Goes Skiing,” said in emails to the Idaho State Journal that he graduated from ISU back in 2005. He worked as a ski instructor for Pebble Creek during his years in college. “Those days at The Rock inspired me to write ‘Send It Sally Goes Skiing,’” Kent said in the emails. “Send It Sally Goes Skiing” is a rhyming book for children ages 2 to 10. It follows its title character, Sally, and her friends as they have fun skiing on the mountain. “It’s all about courage, confidence and having fun on snow,” Kent said in the emails. “I wrote it to inspire my niece to rip after teaching her three older brothers to charge.” Since the book has been published, it has made its way to the shelves of many ski lodges, including Pebble Creek, where it is on display for parents who want to sign their children

Young business owners to take center stage at the 4th Annual Kids Entrepreneur Market

POCATELLO — More than 100 young vendors will sell products they created, built and marketed themselves Friday, Nov. 20, at the fourth annual Kids Entrepreneur Market in Pocatello. The free event runs from 5 to 7:30 p.m. at The Avenue Event Center, 747 S. 2nd Ave., next to the Museum of Clean.
