After a rockslide blocked traffic in both directions in the Wind River Canyon last weekend, the Powell High School boy's soccer team stepped up to help clear the debris. According to the Powell Tribune, the team was driving back from a game and the slide happened just before they got there.

The only injury reported was one player's minor cut, which was treated with a Band-Aid.
