• Missing 7 starters? No problem. No. 1 Homedale still takes down No. 2 Fruitland (idahostatesman.com) — Fruitland High’s football team fell 34-30 in a tight showdown with top-ranked Homedale, despite a big night from star quarterback Titus Vidlak. The loss, played Friday, shifts control of the 4A Snake River Valley conference race to Homedale, but also shows Fruitland remains a serious contender with explosive offense and aggressive play-calling that kept the game close throughout.
