Fielding High opens season after initial loss at Malad
Fielding High football under Coach Ivan Willmore lost 25 to 7 to Malad in their opener on a Friday afternoon at Paris field. The squad, with many first game players, improved markedly in Tuesday’s stateside win over Grace by 7 to 1 as Hay Rich intercepted a Grace pass for a third quarter TD and the team relied on line plays and passes. Fielding schedules include games at Soda Springs and Bancroft with more matchups through November.
