PHOTOS OF THE WEEK: Champions rise and fall on Thanksgiving week

EASTERN IDAHO — Thanksgiving week brought a slim sports schedule, which included the final Idaho high school football game of the season and just a handful of girls’ basketball contests.

The Hillcrest Knights were unable to secure back-to-back championships, falling to the Bishop Kelly Knights 31-14 at Albertsons Stadium Monday night. In gyms across the state, the girls’ basketball season continued for some schools and started for others.

Reigning state champions Pocatello and Rockland each lost — to Rigby and Aberdeen, respectively. Grace, Blackfoot and Firth each continued hot starts, while North Gem bested Watersprings, and Bear Lake bounced back from a season-opening loss to Sugar-Salem with a victory over Ririe.
