IDAHO 4A PLAY-IN ROUND: UPSET ALERT WEEKEND

Four games. Four chances to prove the doubters wrong. The 4A playoffs start NOW with Halloween night’s slate of do-or-die matchups!

GAME 1: #6 American Falls vs #12 Bonners Ferry | Friday @ 7PM

The Badgers bring the HEAT with 34 PPG and Keenan Maas running wild (196.6 ypg, 22 TDs). But don’t sleep on the Beavers’ ball-hawking defense – 15 INTs led by dual-threat QB Zakary Grigg who does it ALL (103.6 rush ypg + 5 picks). Can American Falls’ opportunistic D slow down Bonners Ferry’s explosive offense?

GAME 2: #8 Buhl vs #9 McCall-Donnelly | Friday @ 6PM

McCall-D’s offensive juggernaut (430.2 total ypg) meets Buhl’s turnover-forcing machine (14 INTs). The Vandals’ Colt Value & Gunnar Newman combine for 226.6 rush yards per game, while Porter Higley is a PROBLEM on both sides for the Indians (42.0 rec ypg + 10.5 sacks!). Buhl’s scoring woes (0.9 PPG) are concerning, but their defense creates havoc.

GAME 3: #7 Snake River vs #10 Gooding | Friday @ 7PM

Gooding looks DOMINANT on paper (361.3 ypg), led by Cougar Stockham’s dual-threat brilliance (100.9 QB rating, 12 pass TDs, 2 INTs on defense). Snake River’s stats are incomplete, making them a complete wildcard. The Senators’ triple threat of Rio Curtis, Eli Esterbrook, and Stockham could be unstoppable.

GAME 4: #6 Weiser vs #11 Teton | Saturday @ 12PM

GROUND & POUND meets AIR RAID! Weiser’s Cole Ingle & Ty Cobb power the run game (150.6 combined rush ypg), while Teton’s Luke Nelson is a CHEAT CODE (13 rush TDs + 15 pass TDs) paired with Drew Moss (111.1 rec ypg, 9 TDs). This style clash could be the weekend’s best game!
