EASTERN IDAHO — The fall sports season is officially in full swing, and local athletes have reached mid-season form.

A frenetic week of high school sports action was highlighted by the Idaho Falls Tigers taking on the Pocatello Thunder in both football and volleyball. The Thunder came away with a 34-20 victory on the gridiron, behind another solid performance from senior wideout Hunter Cordell. Meanwhile, junior Leah Thomas led the Tigers to victory on the court.
