     In a fitting award, Wood River High School boys’ varsity soccer coach Luis Monjaras and Jerome High School boys’ coach Robert Garcia shared “Coach of the Year” honors when the Great Basin Conference 2013 All-Conference teams were announced Wednesday.

     Fifth-year Hailey coach Monjaras guided Wood River (12-4-4) to its first-ever State 4A championship game appearance and a runner-up finish, while 10th-year Jerome coach Garcia took the Tigers (17-4-0) to their first-ever State 4A tournament title with a thrilling 3-1 win over Wood River Saturday in Middleton.

     On the Great Basin girls’ side, Wood River junior Timber Kelly was voted as “Defensive Player of the Year.” The girls’ “Coach of the Year” was Katie Kauffman of the three-time GBC tournament winner Twin Falls Bruins, and senior Maddie Watkins of Twin Falls was “Offensive Player of the Year.”

     The boys’ “Player of the Year” was Canyon Ridge senior goalkeeper Josh Clark.

     In all, seven Wood River boys and seven Wolverine girls were singled out, with first-team honors going to Eron Bates, Jose Ortiz, Lucy Brannon, Jesse Cole and Olivia Thornton.

     Meanwhile, Wood River and Community School players participated in the second annual All-Star Senior Soccer Game Tuesday at Wendell High School.

     In the girls’ game, the South won 5-2 over the North with South goals by Jenna Jarolimek of Filer, Ellie Packham (2) and Liz Guzman of Canyon Ridge and Darby Robertson of Filer. Scoring for the North that included Community School players were Yesenia Martinez and Ashley Cox, both from Jerome.

     Scoring by three Wood River boys—Jose Ortiz, Andrew Graves and Eron Bates—led the North boys that included Community School players to a 4-1 win over the South. Jesse Cardenas of Gooding also scored for the North. The lone South goal came from David Geske of Twin Falls.
