vs

FRUITLAND GRIZZLIES (4-0) (#3 Ranked in 4A)

TONIGHT AT EAGLE HIGH SCHOOL – 7PM

The Snake River Valley Conference officially kicks off tonight with a compelling matchup between two teams with contrasting momentum. The undefeated Fruitland Grizzlies travel to face Cole Valley Christian in what could be a defining moment for both programs.

What to Watch:

• Conference championship implications begin with this opener

• Fruitland enters with perfect 4-0 record and #3 division ranking

• Cole Valley Christian (2-1) looking to make statement under new leadership

• Early season form vs. conference experience will be tested

The Grizzlies Storyline:

Fruitland comes in riding high with an unblemished record and championship aspirations. Junior quarterback Titus Vidlak, the reigning Snake River Valley Offensive Player of the Year, has been exceptional early this season. The Grizzlies’ offensive line is anchored by Utah commit Kelvin Obot, one of Idaho’s top recruits. Fruitland hasn’t won the SRV title since 2017 but appears poised to challenge for conference supremacy once again.

The Chargers’ Opportunity:

Cole Valley Christian enters conference play with a 2-1 record under first-year head coach Jordan Henslin. The program is embracing a new philosophy of “competitive excellence” as they aim to establish themselves as contenders in the tough Snake River Valley. This home opener represents a chance to prove they belong among the conference elite.

Conference Context:

The Snake River Valley Conference is traditionally one of Idaho’s most competitive 4A leagues. Both Homedale and Weiser have dominated recent years, consistently challenging for state titles. Tonight’s opener could set the tone for which teams emerge as this year’s championship contenders.
