The Homedale Trojans traveled to Meridian to take on the #1 Cole Valley Christian Chargers—and CVC made sure they left with no doubts about who runs the Snake River Valley Conference. A dominant 67-35 victory keeps the Chargers UNDEFEATED at 6-0 and sends a message to the rest of the SRV: this team is BUILT DIFFERENT.

From the opening tip, Cole Valley controlled the tempo and never let Homedale get comfortable. The Chargers’ defense was SUFFOCATING, holding the #2 Trojans to just 35 points while the offense put on an absolute SHOW for the home crowd.

TOP PERFORMERS:

• Cooper Kollman — 17 PTS
• Soreen Fraas — 17 PTS

The dynamic duo combined for 34 points and absolutely took over when it mattered most.

For Homedale (4-2), Cain Roberts battled with 6 points, while Kreece Powell and Cyrus Wetherell each added 5. The Trojans never quit, but they had no answer for CVC’s relentless pressure on both ends of the floor.

This was a STATEMENT. The Chargers are rolling, Meridian was ROCKING, and the rest of the Snake River Valley is officially on notice.

Cole Valley is officially 6 – 0 in the Snake River Valley Conference.

FRUITLAND (2-1) 55 | McCALL-DONNELLY (2-1) 54

In the game of the night, the Fruitland Grizzlies survived a nail-biter against the McCall-Donnelly Vandals, escaping with a one-point conference victory that wasn’t decided until the final horn.

McCall-Donnelly’s Sam Scott put on a scoring clinic, erupting for 24 points and keeping the Vandals in the game until the very end. Mike Pallerin provided strong support with 14 points, but it ultimately wasn’t enough to overcome the Grizzlies’ balanced attack.

Fruitland spread the wealth offensively, with three players reaching double figures to counter Scott’s heroics. The Grizzlies proved that depth wins games.

The final sequence will be talked about for a while. With the outcome hanging in the balance, Sutton Fitch came up with a critical steal. Zeke VanHofwegen delivered a clutch assist to find the open man and got fouled. Then, with just 0.4 seconds remaining on the clock, Konnor Clarich stepped to the free throw line and calmly knocked down the game-winner to seal the victory for Fruitland.
