Classes may have ended for the summer but the sporting scene in the Treasure Valley kept on rolling into the dog days of summer. Since the end of May Boise State University has prepared for title runs at the NCAA track and field and tennis championships.
Meanwhile, local professional franchises such as the Idaho Steelheads hockey team have excelled in their own respective leagues.
The Steelheads captured the ECHL Kelly Cup Championsship May 29th while the Arena Football League2 affiliate Boise Burn began its inaugural season.
Boise Hawks baseball kicks off with opening day June 19 against Salem-Keiser. The BSU football team awaits the first fall practice of the 2007 season. The Broncos don’t know who will start at quarterback yet but they do have new uniforms to celebrate their undefeated 2006 campaign.
From trophies to brawls the first weeks of summer gave way to many more exciting sporting events left to be played out during the hot summer months of 2007.
