STATE VOLLEYBALL ROUNDUP: Defending state champion Skyview falls out of tournament
After sweeping Timberline in the first round of the tournament on Thursday, Skyview's second day at Coeur d’Alene High School saw the Hawks season come to an end. Skyview lost both of its matches, first to Madison, then Rocky Mountain, to bow out of the double elimination bracket. The defending state champs lost 3-1 (25-22, 20-25, 13-25, 21-25) to Madison, setting up a match with the Grizzlies later in the night in a loser-out game. Rocky Mountain also won that match 3-1 (25-20, 20-25, 25-23, 25-19) to remain alive for a state championship spot. Before beating the Hawks, the Grizzlies took down top seed Rigby 3-0, who lost both of its matches in the tournament. Also staying alive in the bracket was Eagle, who beat Timberline 3-2 (22-25, 24-26, 25-16, 25-17, 16-14) to begin its day Friday. But the story of the tournament continues to be Owyhee, who yet again upset another team, this time No. 4 Post Falls, to set up a date with Madison on Saturday for a spot in the state championship. The No. 8 Storm won 3-0 (25-20, 25-21, 25-19) over the Trojans. Eagle then knocked Post Falls out of the tournament with a 3-0 win.

GIRLS STATE SOCCER: Timberline goes back-to-back, Fruitland completes unbeaten season
Timberline sought redemption in the 6A girls soccer state tournament last week following the 6A District III tournament where its perfect season was spoiled in the championship game. But the best team in 6A throughout the entire season prevailed in Saturday’s state championship game from Hillcrest High School. The match between the Wolves and Lake City seemed destined for a penalty shootout, until the ball found the feet of Allee Haynes on a fortunate bounce for Timberline. A scuffed shot inside the penalty box by Eva Rivera landed right in front of Haynes, who quickly put a shot into an open net for the golden goal to win the game 1-0 for the Wolves, the school’s second-straight state title and fourth in program history. “It was such a relief,” Timberline head coach Maison O’Neill said about winning state. “These girls have put in such much work and are a phenomenal group of young ladies. They truly did deserve to be state champions. I’m glad the scoreline showed that today.” The story of Timberline’s season has been one of near perfection. Going into the district championship game against Owyhee last Tuesday, the Wolves had won all 17 games they had played
