West Jefferson High School Girls Basketball Tryouts
West Jefferson Sophomore, Bella Spencer, has qualified to compete in the State Cross Country Race on Saturday, Nov. 2nd, in Boise. The 3A Girls Race will be at 11:00 am at Eagle Island State Park.
Run like the (Terreton) wind, Bella! We are cheering you across the finish line!
A "State Send-off" will take place at 3:40pm on Thursday, Oct. 31st in the hallway of the high school. This is a tradition where the students and faculty line the hallways and cheer for the athletes as they walk through. Parents are welcome to come if they would like, but don't be late because it's pretty short and sweet!
Our Panther Football team ended their regular season with a 1-3 conference record and a 4-4 overall record. We will now play in the first round of the State Play-offs on Friday, Nov. 1st at 7:00pm at North Fremont High School. Several factors contribute to West Jefferson qualifying to continue towards a state championship . We asked Coach Hall to explain how the State Play-off Teams are determined.
"Idaho High School Football Teams qualify for state competition according to a few criteria. The first-place team of conference champions from the 1st/2nd, 3rd, 4/5th, and 6th districts automatically qualify for tournament play and are granted a first-round bye. (The four teams with a first-round bye are Firth, Declo, Nampa Christian, & Grangeville.)
The 1st and 2nd as well as the 4th and 5th districts have combined into two larger conferences. Additionally, all teams are ranked in Max Preps based on win/loss record, strength of schedule, and head-to-head competition.
After the four conference champions have been determined, the next eight highest-ranked teams, according to Max Preps, qualify to enter the tournament. These eight teams are placed in a bracket by a committee and they play the first round. The winners of these four games will play the four conference champions who had a first-round bye. The losers of these four games will end their season."
North Fremont has really nice new bleachers for the visiting team! Let's fill them up with Panther Fans!!
