PREP ROUNDUP: Timberlake clinches outright IML football title
• PREP FOOTBALL
BONNERS FERRY — James Billingsley carried 25 times for 98 yards and three touchdowns as the Timberlake Tigers held off the Bonners Ferry Badgers 24-19 to clinch the Intermountain League title on Friday at Bonners Ferry High.
Timberlake (6-2, 3-0 IML) will have a bye into the playoffs, which start next weekend. Bonners Ferry finishes 4-4, 1-2.
Timberlake quarterback Ashton Peightal threw for 185 yards.
“Ashton played a really good second half,” Timberlake coach Kelly Amos said. “He made some big throws and that allowed us to start running the ball a little bit.”
Timberlake forced a pair of turnover on downs in the final four minutes to preserve the win.
“We just kept giving them opportunities,” Amos said. “Our defense played well in some spots, but Bonners had some big plays. Bonners kept putting themselves in position to make plays.”
Seeding for the state 3A playoffs will be announced today.
