Undone by lake PK, Skyline eliminated from state tourney by Nampa

NAMPA — After a solid season, netting them a No. 3 seed in the state tournament, the Skyline Grizzlies will go home without any hardware.

The Grizz were unable to contain Makai Venegas and the Nampa Bulldog offense, falling in a win-or-out game, 4-3, at Columbia High School.

Skyline held a 1-0 advantage early on in a game that resembled a boxing match, with two fighters testing the other, unwilling to get overaggressive on the attack. The two teams combined for just eight shots on goal through the game’s first 30 minutes.

Skyline made it 2-0 in the 33rd minute on
