Sandpoint advanced to the state semifinals for the first times since 2005 by shutting down a potent Middleton ground attack. The Vikings, which utilize the double-wing, entered Friday’s game with a six-game winning streak and averaging nearly 270 yards per game rushing. Sandpoint (8-2) held Middleton (7-3) to just one first down and 14 yards in the first half. “They are coming off a six-game winning streak, and I think our kids made them look like they were not a team on a six-game winning streak,” said Sandpoint coach Mike Mitchell, whose team allowed the Vikings a total of 32 yards on the ground. “That’s what it looked like tonight”/William Love, Sportslink.
