Blackfoot ends WRHS grid season 63-14

4A state playoffs continue Friday

---

They scored in every game for the third consecutive year—all 27 games in the coaching reign of third-year coach Mike Glenn—but the Wood River High School football team couldn't overcome the challenges of its tough schedule.

It was a perfect storm of a schedule for a very youthful Hailey squad in 2007.

The Wolverine defense lost lopsided games to four teams that are now 9-0 and sitting in the state playoffs. Wood River finished yielding 46.7 ppg, over twice as much as last year, in seven losses to teams with a combined season record of 53-9.

Friday night, Wood River (1-7) wrapped up its season with a 63-14 setback to Idaho 4A top-ranked Blackfoot (9-0) in a "Great Eight" playoff game on the Bronco gridiron.

Blackfoot, ousted in the 2006 State 4A semi-finals by eventual state champ Pocatello 36-13, advanced into the highlight game of this weekend's State 4A playoff slate—taking on #2-ranked Minico (9-0) Friday at 3 p.m. at Holt Arena in Pocatello.
