Lacrosse provides another spring sports opportunity in the Magic Valley

KIMBERLY, Idaho (KMVT/KSVT) — The vast majority of Idaho high school lacrosse teams come from the Boise metro area however there is one co-op team holding down the fort for the sport in the Magic Valley.

The spring sports season in the Magic Valley is the one with the most variety when it comes to options for student athletes and one of those options is lacrosse, however there is only one Magic Valley team at the high school ranks so how did these players get introduced to the game.

“One of my dad’s work partners played and that’s how I got introduced to it in like elementary,” said Quinn Mayes, a sophomore on the Magic Valley High School lacrosse team.

Mayes’s love for the game set off a chain reaction among some of his friends to join the sport as well.

“One of my friends named Quinn Mayes, he actually showed me the game and I started playing in middle school for a thing called Snake River Lacrosse and went from there into high school,” said Hank Dansie, a junior on the Magic Valley High School lacrosse team.

Snake River Lacrosse is the youth lacrosse program that was founded roughly 10 years ago by Rob Sturgill and John Lamb to bring the sport into the Magic Valley, however the program didn’t initially begin in Twin Falls but the growth of it has been evident.

“You know it has grown slowly. We actually started in Rupert, Idaho. Myself and John Lamb used to travel to Rupert three times a week with a group of kids and we started in Rupert and we told the Rupert folks that we needed to build the program in Twin,” said Sturgill, who helps coach the high school team.

Snake River Lacrosse has done just that, as their high school team consists of players from a multitude of Magic Valley high schools including Kimberly, Twin Falls and Canyon Ridge, but the goal is to continue the growth into the surrounding high schools.

“We would love kids to come out from Filer, from Jerome and build this up to where each of these high schools could technically have their own team,” Sturgill said.

Town Hall to address future of Medicaid expansion in Idaho – Local News 8

POCATELLO, Idaho (KIFI) – Nearly two-thirds of Idaho voters approved Medicaid expansion, but local leaders say that coverage is now at risk.

According to the organizers of a town hall set for Saturday, February 28, proposed changes could severely impact Idaho’s rural hospitals and leave thousands of residents without access to healthcare.

The town hall, titled “Protecting What Works: Medicaid Expansion in Idaho,” will take place at Chubbuck City Hall from 10:30 a.m. to noon.

A panel of representatives from across the healthcare sector — including home health, hospitals, and public and community health — will answer questions about how Medicaid expansion works in Idaho and how potential cuts could affect communities. Organizers say there will also be time for audience questions.

One of the event organizers told Local News 8 why the discussion is important:

“There have been conversations in the last couple of legislative sessions about either fully repealing Medicaid expansion or making significant cuts to Medicaid,” Shantay Boxham, the organizer, said. “This is an educational forum to ensure voters and community members have the information they need about what the program is, what’s at stake, and how it supports Idaho and Idahoans.”

There are limited seats available for the meeting. To reserve a spot, visit members.pocatello.com.

Local News 8 will continue to follow this story and have updates tomorrow.
