Lee: Viks Title Top INW Prep Story

Greg Lee, the top prep scribe in the Inland Northwest, picks the undefeated run of the Coeur d'Alene Viks to a second consecutive state football title as the top 2011 high school story in the Inland Northwest. Writes Greg: "The Vikings were simply overpowering – in an athletic and speedy way as they finished undefeated at 12-0 and captured back-to-back State 5A championships. The Vikings may have been not only the best team in Idaho but perhaps Washington. CdA defeated Skyview of Vancouver 52-14, and Skyview went on to play perennial power Skyline in the state final. Quarterback Chad Chalich, who has given an oral commitment to Idaho, passed for 3,641 yards and 42 touchdowns with just two interceptions in 331 attempts. He also rushed for 471 yards and 14 TDs."

Question: How often do you watch local high school sports?
