Aryanna Gonzalez missed all of last season with a torn ACL. Saturday, she scored with eight seconds left in the second overtime to win the Pocatello girls soccer team another state championship. Gonzalez scored both goals as the sixth-seeded Thunder (17-5-2) beat top-seeded Twin Falls 2-1 in double overtime in the Class 5A state final Saturday, Oct. 24, at War Memorial Stadium in Sandpoint.
