Coeur d’Alene 63, Post Falls 35

The top-ranked Coeur d’Alene Vikings were tested for the first time in six games, trailed for the first time in seven games – and still won by 28 points. The Vikings broke from a tie score early in the second quarter with 28 unanswered points and rolled to a 63-35 5A Inland Empire League football victory over visiting Post Falls on Friday. Coeur d’Alene (8-0, 2-0 IEL) cracked the 50-point barrier for the sixth straight game. The Vikings had pretty much secured victories in their previous five games by halftime, leading by 25, 39, 54, 41 and 42 points. Fourth-ranked Post Falls (6-2, 1-1) kept it interesting most of the way, scoring on its first play from scrimmage and again on a trick play – halfback Tyson Johnson tossing a 14-yard pass to Auston May – to even the score at 14/Jim Meehan, SR.
