Last Friday, Sandpoint took their contest on the road with ease, bagging a 54-14 victory over St. Maries. Given the Bulldogs' advantage in MaxPreps' Idaho football rankings (they are ranked 15th, while the Lumberjacks are ranked 76th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.

Sandpoint might still be hurting after the 41-21 defeat they got from Post Falls in their previous meeting back in August of 2023.
