VarsityCDA Picks: Viks Over Highland

Lee: It’s a good thing this game is at CdA for the Vikings. If this game were being played in the armpit of Idaho – read Pocatello – then I’d take Ram tough Highland. But I’m picking the Viks to bounce back after that difficult defeat last week. CdA 30, Highland 21

Dapper: The Rams, coming off a convenient bye week, have added a ground attack to their game and a 3-4 defense. Look out for Thad Hansen, he can be dangerous, not to mention their QB Neil Jewell. It’s going to be another test Coeur d’Alene but I think it will be looking to shake that loss and rebound. It will be close. CdA 40, Highland 36

 Collingwood: What a great bounce-back opportunity for the Vikings. A win over third-ranked Highland, the most consistent 5A program in Idaho, would affirm that CdA is still the crème de la crèm of its classification. As far as big-school Idaho football goes, this is a showcase game. Vikings finish their non-league gauntlet with a 4-1 record. CdA 36, Highland 28

Also: Lake City will bounce Post Falls. More VarsityCDA picks

Question: Do you agree with prognosticators that CHS Vikings will bounce back against Highland after lopsided loss to Skyline ended their 24-game winning streak?
