IDAHO FALLS – How do you replace one of the top goal scorers in the state?
Sometimes it takes a village.
“We’re definitely still a solid squad, just a little younger, but we have a lot of different players stepping up,” said Thunder Ridge boys soccer coach Logan Murri, whose team reached the 6A state consolation final last season behind the offensive magic of Kaden Palmer, who finished with 26 goals to lead all of 6A and was among assists leaders with 16.
Heading into Wednesday’s High Country Conference showdown with Rigby, nine different players have scored for the Titans, who are off to a 6-1-0 start and have won five straight games.
Freshman Kai Redd is second in the state with nine goals.
“You always worry that it’s a revamp or rebuilding (year), but I don’t think so,” Murri said.
