It was a game dominated by flash. Well, part of a game, anyway. Coeur d’Alene needed just more than 30 minutes of actual playing time to stonewall Moses Lake in a nonleague high school clash Friday night. The Vikings rolled up a 31-0 lead over the visiting Chiefs before the game was called at 5:58 of the third quarter because of lightning in the vicinity. The game was delayed for 1 hour, 15 minutes in the first quarter when lightning was spotted to the west of the stadium, and as the weather disturbances moved to the north and grew closer to Coeur d’Alene High, fans were asked to leave the metal bleachers for their safety/Steve Christilaw, SR.
