Snake River’s Gwen Jones goes from an hour to live to state champion

Matt Jones picked his spot with about 600 meters to go. There was a short straightaway there on the Portneuf Wellness Complex course, with fewer people crowding the rope. He knew he'd have a second, maybe two, to get his daughter's attention. When Gwen Jones came around the hill, she was in about 21st place, farther up than he expected. He trotted alongside her. "Gwen, you're doing so good, and I think you're going to get a medal," Matt remembered telling her. "But if you want to help your team win state, you've got to pass that group ahead of you." She glanced over at him. "I saw determination just take over her," Matt said, "and she took off." It scared him a little. She still had 600 meters to go. It wasn't the first time she'd scared him. Two years earlier, doctors gave her an hour to live and warned she might never run again. On Halloween, the Snake River junior helped her team win a state title. "I get really emotional even thinking about it now, watching every race she runs," said her mother, Emily Jones. "There's a really realistic possibility that she shouldn't even be here." THE

Home boys: Blackfoot football finishes 2026 unbeaten on home sod

Attention Under Armour marketing executives: You want to dominate a slice of the eastern Idaho market? Sure you do. How about getting a stranglehold on brand loyalty in an up-and-coming place called Bingham County? Heck, for the right football sponsorship deal, you may even land the Blackfoot Broncos — a team that lived up to your trademarked slogan “protect this house” with uncommon grace in 2026. The Broncos closed out the fall season at 6-5 Friday night in the Treasure Valley, eliminated from the 5A bracket by the Bishop Kelly Knights for the second straight season. Behind that painful reality lurks a statistical silver lining: The Broncos were unbroken and unbeaten in all five of their home games. Unlike the 2025 game, when BK handled the Broncos 40-8, the 2026 rematch ended 42-28 and was in doubt until the final minute. “We fought the whole way and a pick-six with one minute left sealed it,” Blackfoot coach Josh Stewart said. “We were really happy with how hard we competed.” That win is good news for the 10-0 Knights, because the team that eliminated Blackfoot in each of the previous two seasons went on to win the state title (Hillcrest in

'It’s a blessing now’: Pocatello veteran reflects on how PTSD took his marriage and fueled his drive

POCATELLO — Looking back on his life some 50-plus years since the events that led to his post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD, Michael Sasseen can see that the disorder isn’t just responsible for driving the behaviors that led him to lose all the precious things in his life. Sasseen believes his PTSD is also behind what he calls a life of overachieving, a driving force pushing him to take on the next project or pursue the next accomplishment, all of it in an effort to never allow the disorder to take hold of him. “I have mastered so many things in my life just running from my PTSD,” Sasseen said. “I had to keep this PTSD brain busy.” But it isn’t just PTSD that Sasseen struggles with. He’s also been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and he’s dyslexic. Even as a kid, Sasseen was focused on achieving and talks about his first job bagging groceries at a local store in Memphis, Tenn., where he grew up. “My first job was at nine years old. I was standing on a milk crate bagging groceries,” he said. “When I wasn’t standing on the milk crate bagging groceries, I

UTV Night Light Parade Rolls Into Idaho December 12

If you run a side-by-side and you have been looking for an excuse to string some lights on it, Pocatello, Idaho, has one. The KRW Trail Blazers Christmas Nite Light Ride returns for its 15th year on Saturday, December 12, and the one hard requirement for joining in is that your rig has to glow. Where and When According to the KRW Trail Blazers, the ride starts at OK Ward Park at 1400 West Quinn in Pocatello. Things kick off at 2:00 p.m., and judging begins at 5:00 p.m. once the vehicles are lined up and lit. That gap gives you time to get positioned and make sure every strand is working before the judges come through in the dark. What Can Join This is not a UTV-only affair, though side-by-sides are plenty welcome. The organizers say the ride is open to side-by-sides, ATVs, street motorcycles, and ordinary vehicles alike. The one rule across the board: you have to decorate your ride with lights. If it does not light up, it does not belong in this parade. Prizes There are prizes on the line for the best decorated ride and for the rig that uses the most lights. Those are
