In the decorated trophy-gobbling run that is Coeur d’Alene High girls basketball, another star was born at the 2010 State 5A tournament. It’s a good thing, too, because had freshman Caelyn Orlandi not stepped up Saturday, Coeur d’Alene wouldn’t have captured a third consecutive championship. “She’s my MVP,” CdA coach Dale Poffenroth said after the Vikings rallied to a 51-45 win over rival Lewiston at the Idaho Center. “I know (Carli) Rosenthal had a ton of points, but we don’t win without (Orlandi). She made all the difference in the world.” The 5-foot-8 guard finished with 13 points, 11 in the fourth quarter including 7 of 8 free throws/Greg Lee, SportsLink. More here.
