The Vallivue Girls Soccer team secured its first win of the season on Saturday, August 24 against Lewiston 2-1. They lost Wednesday to a tough Rocky Mountain team 1-4, but that isn’t deterring the team. The team seems confident about a return to the state tournament, led by senior captains Piper Hubler, Hailey Upson and Ali Hernandez and junior Amanda Soto.

With all of the changes to IDHSSA classifications, the Falcons will have some different opponents in the 5A Southern Idaho Conference (SIC). While Bishop Kelly and Ridgevue moved to 6A, Middleton and Nampa moved into 5A. According to the team, Middleton will be the most difficult conference game of the season, and this will take place on September 23.

When asked about what to expect this season, Head Coach Mariah Castillo stated, “Amanda Soto and Jenna Seals up top will be a dynamic duo that will compete and make it challenging for other teams to defend them well.”

The Falcons will travel to Ridgevue to face their district rivals on Wednesday, Sept. 4.

About the Contributors

Aubree Anderson, Staff Writer

My name is Aubree Anderson I am a sophomore at Vallivue High School. I joined the journalism class because I enjoy writing, so I thought it would be cool to be in a class that bases itself on writing. I don't really have a focus on what I like to write as long as it is interesting or if I have a little understanding of what it is. I feel as if it is more difficult to write about something that I don't have any insight into. I don't really have an idea of what I want to learn about this year but I want to improve as a wrestler and add to my education.

Ivy Service, Staff Writer

My name is Ivy Service, a senior at Vallivue High School. I’ve been writing short stories by myself and with my cousins ever since I can remember, but I really found my passion for writing and sharing stories when I took a creative writing class sophomore year. I really love writing sports pieces. I’ve been doing sports myself since I could walk, and I love staying up to date on the scores and performances of our school. Overall I’m hoping to learn more about how to make my writing sound more smooth and enjoyable to readers.
