Kellen Moore's new statue will serve as a ‘legacy.' Maddux Madsen loves the chase
Less than 24 hours before Boise State football opened its season on the road against No. 2 Oregon, Maddux Madsen sat quietly on the team bus with his phone just a handful of inches from his face. Boise State’s plane to Eugene was diverted at the last minute because of weather, forcing a turnaround and a landing in Portland, about 120 miles north of where the Broncos needed to be. As the dark countryside of western Oregon flashed by, Madsen opted to watch a show on his phone — then a text from a random number popped up at the top of his screen. It was from Kellen Moore. “I saw my parents at the hotel at family time, and I told my dad, and my dad’s like, ‘Go away!’ ” Madsen recalled to journalists Tuesday afternoon. “He was just about as excited as I was.” The text didn’t say much — just a good-luck text for the upcoming season, and offering an open line of communication if Madsen ever needed anything. The fifth-year quarterback has yet to take advantage of Moore’s offer, but the text served as a gentle reminder of the footsteps Madsen is following at Boise State.

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

Maddux Madsen’s efficiency puts him in elite company
Behind the explosive, highlight-reel runs of Dylan Riley, quarterback Maddux Madsen has quietly put together one of the better passing seasons in the country.

Cougars picture-perfect Homecoming scene goes sideways
When the meeting between Washington State and Boise State was announced, it was immediately circled by many to be one of the better games of the revamped Pac-12 slate. Especially in the timeslot it was put in. A late October matchup at 3pm in Pullman. College football is arguably at its peak around this time of the year. As the great Keith Jackson once said: “And in the fall, when the air turns crisp, the leaves turn gold, the sun shines bright on the Palouse hills, you get the spirit. This is Cougar country.”

Stepping out of brother's shadows, this Idaho QB set the state TD record
Titus Vidlak fondly remembers roaming the sidelines of Hidden Valley High School (Grants Pass, OR) while his father, Mark, coached his elder brothers, Sam and Nate. He was always looking to soak up the moments while his brothers played. But little did he understand then the enormous shadow his elder brothers cast, both with historic prep careers and Division I collegiate careers. So how does the second-youngest Vidlak respond to sitting in the shadows of his elder brothers? By breaking the Idaho career touchdown record during his senior season, of course. "I always kind of wanted to be one of the people on the big field when I was little," Titus told USA TODAY Sports. "So, I definitely looked up to them and now it's my turn. It's pretty exciting, always kind of watching your older brothers do cool stuff and then it's finally your turn, you get to go play." Titus and the Fruitland Grizzlies (5-3) take on Cole Valley Christian (Meridian, ID) on Friday, Oct. 23, in the regular season finale and Titus' senior night. Sam and Nate set the standard for Titus Vidlak Both Sam and Nate were all-state players in high school in Oregon. Sam won
