South Fremont Cougars grind out 12-0 victory over Snake River
MORELAND — On homecoming night in Snake River, the Panthers had a chance with under four minutes left — the ball in their hands, offense trailing by six. Sophomore quarterback Colt Baron, who hadn’t thrown much all night, dropped back and looked for a receiver downfield. But senior linebacker Tayson Farley jumped the route and took it 39 yards down the sideline and into the end zone, sealing a 12-0 victory over Snake River and moving South Fremont to 4-1. “We just talked about it all week, watching those out routes,” Farley said. “I was just in the perfect spot to make a play.” The Cougars had their own chances on offense, with three trips to the red zone, including the first drive of the game, which took nearly eight minutes off the clock. Senior quarterback Cy Hill dropped back with his eyes on the end zone, but sophomore linebacker Lincoln Thomas read the throw and intercepted it, halting a 59-yard drive and giving the Panthers the ball. Later in the half, the Cougars had another chance inside the red zone but were stopped on fourth down, keeping the game scoreless. The Panthers’ defense held strong every time the Cougars

School District 25 levy rate stays at zero for second straight year
POCATELLO — For the second straight year, state property tax relief will fully cancel out the local property tax rate for Pocatello/Chubbuck School District 25’s supplemental levy, bringing that rate to zero in 2026. The district received $10,789,319 in state property tax relief this year, about $665,000 more than last year. That funding covers the entire $8.25 million supplemental levy and leaves additional relief that further lowers the district’s overall local property tax collections. A zero rate does not mean the levy itself has disappeared. The $8.25 million annual levy remains in effect and goes before voters for renewal Nov. 3. It has had community support since 1949. District officials estimate that after applying the state relief, the amount levied locally in 2026 will fall to about $4.5 million, down from roughly $5.19 million in 2025. The district’s overall levy rate is projected to drop from 0.000581891 in 2025 to 0.000516820 in 2026. District officials relayed that how much of an individual property owner’s tax bill will go to the district won’t be known until December. “We appreciate the Legislature’s continued investment in property tax relief for Idahoans,” Superintendent Douglas Howell said. “For the second consecutive year, this funding provides
