Viks Seek 4th Straight Girls State Title

Lewiston (21-3) will play three-time reigning champion Coeur d’Alene (20-5) — a 56-36 winner against Highland — in a rematch of last year’s championship game at 8 p.m. Saturday at the Idaho Center. “Every year, you expect to reach the state tournament, and it takes a lot of work to get there,” Coeur d’Alene coach Dale Poffenroth said. “Once you get there, if you don’t win, it’s a big letdown because you know how much work it took.” This will mark the fifth consecutive year a team from northern Idaho will claim the title. Centennial won in 2006, but Lake City won in 2007 and Coeur d’Alene has dominated ever since. “We’ve got a good team, but we’ll see what happens,” said Lewiston coach Pat Teichmer, whose team has beaten Coeur d’Alene twice this season. “We’ve asked our kids to jump one hurdle at a time and we have one more big one in front of us”/Jesse Zentz, Idaho Statesman.

Question: When did you last see a high school girls basketball game?
