Post Falls stumbles, suffers first loss

REXBURG - Coming off two solid victories to open the season, the Post Falls High football team took the long bus ride to southeastern Idaho and was dealt a 30-13 loss by the previously winless Madison Bobcats on Friday night.

"They outplayed us; we didn't show up," said Post Falls coach Jeff Hinz, whose Trojans were coming off a 17-7 victory at Lake City last week. "We made some mistakes and it showed. We played more like an 0-2 team."

Tyson Johnson's 3-yard run in the second quarter tied the game at 7 for 5A Post Falls (2-1). 4A Madison scored just before the half for a 14-7 lead, then scored twice more in the third quarter before Joey Pfennigs connected with Seth Anderson on an 18-yard touchdown pass. The Bobcats blocked a punt for a safety to close out the scoring.

“We’ll go back to the drawing board and try to get better,” Hinz said.

Clint Ferrin ran for two touchdowns for Madison (1-2).
