The McCall-Donnelly boys soccer team brought home a fourth place trophy from the 4A State Tournament over the weekend.But the Vandals will need to make more room in the display case after being selected as a 2024 Sportsmanship Winner.The announcement was made by the Idaho High School Activities Association and is posted on the organization’s website, idhsaa.org.“When we started in August I told the team that winning the Academic Award and Sportsmanship Award were as important as trophies for playing excellence,” M-D coach Forrest Stanley said.The Vandals opened the state tournament with a 4-1 victory over Sun Valley Community School, but then lost to eventual state champion Wendell, 1-0, in the semifinal.M-D tackled Teton of Driggs in Saturday’s third place game, settling for fourth place following a 2-1 loss.Stanley said his players won gracefully and met adversity with dignity.
