Item: CdA girls break through: Viking girls basketball win the state championship that had eluded it the past two years/Greg Lee, Spokesman-Review Sportslink

More Info: Suffice to say, it was the charm. It may have taken a third try, but the Coeur d’Alene High girls basketball team finally broke through Saturday evening. The second-ranked Vikings were too much for Vallivue, clipping the Falcons 61-47 in the State 5A championship game before an estimated crowd of 2,500 at the Idaho Center. After back-to-back state runner-up finishes, the Vikings finished the deal Saturday.

DFO: State championships are hard to come by. The Coeur d'Alene High girls deserve all the kudos they can get for bringing one to North Idaho after two straight second-place finishes.
