Homecoming football festivities are nice when they’re in your own backyard. Marching bands, cheering fans and the smell of grilling at the tail gate party. While that might be what’s scheduled for this week at Orofino, it was also what the Maniacs would have to view while at Grangeville this past Friday evening. An Orofino team that has been through it’s share of ups and downs, injuries and departures found itself outmanned by the Bulldogs. The first 24 minutes of the game Orofino would not be able to muster a first down on their own, only by Grangeville penalties would they be able to move the ball for a fresh new set of downs. Grangeville would run, pass and return interceptions for a 28-0 lead at the half. After receiving the 2nd half kick, Grangeville would again be penalized that placed the ball on their own 3-yard line. Upon the next snap the Bulldogs Hollis Elliot would be tackled in the zone by Johnny Starrs to score a safety for the Maniacs and the only 2 points the club would put on the score board. Final score 58-2. Despite the outcome, there were plenty of plays the brought the Maniac fans to their feet. Coming back from injury, the return of offensive and defensive lineman Ray Starrs made a huge impact. At left guard he would hold off a relentless pass rush, then pin his ears back to wrap up Bulldogs running backs from his defensive end position. Lady Maniac Volleyball had a tremendous showing for their senior Night celebration Thursday evening sweeping aside league rival St. Maries by scores of 25-21; 25-11 and 25-22. While there were plenty of players contributing to the win, head coach Heidi Summers pointed out the efforts of Senior Holly Hill for her play. Recording 5 service aces and several key kills from overpassed balls, Hill showed the intensity of Maniac spirit all evening.
For their play, both Ray Starrs and Holly Hill are named the weeks KLER Pizza Factory Player of the game honors and are awarded certificates for a personal pizza and medium soft drink of their choice.
It’s homecoming week at Orofino and plenty of events scheduled by the student body throughout the week. Friday evening Orofino football entertains Priest River Lamana High school Spartans.
