Sports

[edit]

Kimberly High School competes in IHSAA Class 4A athletics, in the Sawtooth Central Idaho Conference.

In 2010, the Kimberly Bulldogs lost a close football game to American Falls 46–41, and lost their homecoming game to Sugar-Salem 30–8. However, they were the conference champions and won third place at state.[8]

In 2017, the volleyball team placed third at the state championship.[9] Football continues to be strong, cross country girls placed second at state, and swim placed first at districts up against 4A schools, despite Kimberly being a 3A school.

In 2022, the boys basketball team won the state championship for the first time in 70 years against McCall-Donnelly with a score of 40-22. The Bulldogs set the 3A state record for the fewest points allowed in a single tournament, only allowing 98 points through 3 games. That same year, Kimberly High School's boys cross country team made history by winning their first-ever state championship title, led by top-5 finishers Ben Browning and Grayden Devries.[10]

Kimberly has enjoyed continued success in their athletic programs. They won the IHSAA 3A School of Excellence Award in back-to-back years in 2023 and 2024. The award recognizes the best overall school in the state with regard to performance in athletics, academics, and sportsmanship for all sports teams. During Kirby Bright’s tenure as Kimberly High School’s Athletic Director, the Bulldogs took home 55 state trophies, 8 Academic State Champions titles and 8 Sportsmanship awards.
