Bonners Ferry rolled to 2-0 in the Intermountain League with a 22-12 home-field win over Priest River on Friday.

Jeremy Patterson scored twice to attempt to rally the Spartans. The running back plunged over from the 1-yard line in the second quarter, and returned the second-half kickoff 86 yards for a touchdown.

The Badgers capped the night with a safety when Priest River snapped the ball out of the end zone on a punt attempt.
