Thank you Wallace Miners Athletics & Kootenai School District #274!

Wallace 🤝 Kootenai
Rivals on the scoreboard…
UNITED FOR ONE IMPORTANT THING.

🏀 NFHS Officials Appreciation Week 🏀

These legends in stripes are out here:
✔️ Running up and down the court
✔️ Taking heat from BOTH benches
✔️ Explaining the same call 47 times
✔️ And still showing up the next night like absolute pros

So tonight, the Wallace & Kootenai girls are joined forces to say:

👏 THANK YOU, OFFICIALS 👏

Because without refs…
We’re just a bunch of people yelling in a gym with no rules.

Let’s give them some love, some respect, and maybe—just maybe—no side-eye after a whistle.

Appreciate the stripes.
Respect the game.
Let’s have a night. 🖤❤️🤍
