CONGRATULATIONS EAGLE!!!!!!!!!
Wow, what a great game and awesome win for Eagle. Congratulations on a great game and a great season. I look forward to the excitement that will follow in Eagle. I hope there is a rally or parade for all the hard work you guys did. You deserve it. Nice coaching Coach Peterson and staff.
Sweet Justice
I am ecstatic that Capital lost this game. All I have to say is, Karma Baby!! Your parents and fans are by far the nastiest, most obnoxious human beings I have ever seen in my life.
What a game
Capital didn't lose this game. Eagle won it. It was an incredible game and Taylor Kelly put together an incredibly impressive performance. His stats (161 passing, 103 rushing) don't tell the whole story. His ability to keep plays alive is what gave Eagle the edge, not to mention an solid defensive performance by the Mustangs. I predict big things for him at Nevada. As for the other comments, I have always known the majority of Capital's fans to be classy folks, and the same goes for Eagle fans. What a year for the Treasure Valley. Parma and Eagle bring titles home and we were fortunate to see a great game at Bronco Stadium on Friday night. I only hope we see another game like this featuring two local teams in the future.
If you haven't looked in the
If you haven't looked in the mirror lately, you need to! Listen to yourself. Talk about nasty and obnoxious!!! Remember that Karma!
Capital
I guess steroids don't always prove you are the best!
Eagle state championhip
I have to say that I really didnt care who one the game tonight. I must say I have been in Idaho for 35 of my 40 years of life. I went to school when Eagle was a good place to hunt Pheasants. The one thing I can say is that Eagle is not an Idaho school. Its a by product of people that came from out of state and now say they are Idahoans. Yes there are Idahoans there but the majority are not. Capital was and has been a staple in Boise for years. I saw a comment that said that Capital High are bad sports. I can say I have never seen worse sports then I have seen from Eagle. From girls little league softball and a team called the Sliders to the Mustangs of your High School. Congrats on the win but come on. Your not Idahoans no matter what you think. Capital way to hang in there and show them what Idaho is all about. A bunch of natives that work hard and walk off the field with your head in the air!
A number of tribes should be winning this by all accounts...
Pedantic whining either way.

Idahoans all - regardless of
Idahoans all - regardless of where we're from.
Nice job to both schools to represent the Treasure Valley with your efforts.
Please don't stoop to calling anyone names: "native", "worse sports", "nastiest, obnoxious", "steriods", "a bunch of natives" (that's a laugher!).
Congrats to both schools and especially Eagle for going for it at the end of the game!
