Rocky Mountain football team dominates Mountain View again
MERIDIAN — If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. That’s how Rocky Mountain approached a second meeting in a row with Mountain View. Two weeks ago, the Grizzlies met the Mavericks in the regular season finale, running all over their crosstown rivals in a game that decided the 6A Southern Idaho Conference Foothills Division. It was more of the same in Friday night’s playoff rematch. Rocky Mountain once again leaned into its strength of running the football to fuel another big win. The Grizzlies ran for nearly 400 yards in a 51-8 rout of the Mavericks, advancing to the 6A state semifinals for the third year in a row. Whereas Kaelan Custer and Laird Stuart led the attack on the ground two weeks ago, this time around it was Oakley Baxter’s turn. The senior running back finished with a season-high 209 yards and four touchdowns, continuing to make up for lost time after missing the first four games of the season due to injury. Baxter was expected to be the lead back coming into the season, but dealt with a hamstring issue that delayed the start of his senior campaign. But since he returned in Week 5, he’s been averaging

Eagle families build sanctuary for grief and remembrance
EAGLE — The second installation phase of a Dry Creek Cemetery monument, intended as a place of healing for all who mourn a loved one, was commemorated Saturday. An Angel of Hope — one of nearly 200 such statues, mostly in the United States — came to the Treasure Valley earlier this year thanks to the Eagle Lions Club and a group of local residents who have experienced devastating grief. Now, a brick plaza and amphitheater will be erected around it, and its construction was kicked off with a Nov. 7 groundbreaking. “The angel is going to be totally surrounded,” said Gary D’Orazio, one of the bereaved parents who spearheaded the project. “We’re going to have memorial plaques. We’re going to have benches with engravings.” D’Orazio was instrumental in constructing the country’s second Angel of Hope statue in Nevada three decades ago. After reading the novella “The Christmas Box,” which inspired the movement, he learned that author Richard Paul Evans was erecting an Angel in Salt Lake City and wanted to do the same for his own son, Mario, near Elko where he died. The death of a second son, Rocco, in 2024 strengthened his resolve for bringing the Eagle
