The roundup also recaps several other eastern Idaho Friday night games, highlighting standout performances and setting up key upcoming matchups that local gridiron followers may want to watch. 
• Whitman settling in at helm of Idaho Beef Council helm (capitalpress.com) — American Falls gets a nod as the place where new Idaho Beef Council CEO Josh Whitman spent more than six years managing an Agri Beef feedlot, experience he says shaped his approach to the industry.
