For The Star-News It is true there is an actual wrestling mat set up at Zion Rushton’s home. The M-D freshman said it is mostly there for fun, but people might think otherwise after the 14-year-old advanced all the way to the championship round at the District III Girls Wrestling Tournament last week at the Expo Center in Garden City.

It was Jake Carr’s last competitive match on his home mats and the McCall-Donnelly senior celebrated by pinning his opponent to help the Vandal wrestling team defeat Payette, 61-12, during a Snake River Valley Conference dual last week at the M-D gym.

Kallyn Rogers scored 24 points, but the Cascade girls basketball team’s spirited run through the 1AD2 District III Tournament came to an end last week with a 61-40 loss to Garden Valley. Senior Kyler Nitzel also fought through extra defenders to score seven points, but the Ramblers’ quest to advance to the state tournament fell short during an elimination game played in New Meadows, the tournament host site.
