Bruce Shipley knew there’d be ribbing following his Hatfield-to-McCoy move last year. When the Lake City quarterback transferred from Coeur d’Alene High, he was good-naturedly dubbed a traitor and turncoat by his friends east of Highway 95. That was the least of the dual threat’s worries, though. Adjusting to LC coach Van Troxel’s vaunted option from Coeur d’Alene’s single-back offense was arduous enough.  “Going from (Coeur d’Alene coach Shawn) Amos’ offense to Troxel’s was a big change,” said Shipley, whose family moved into LC’s boundaries two summers ago. “It’s taken a lot of time and yelling for me to get use to it.” A look at Shipley’e ever-improving numbers would suggest he’s fully absorbed the Timberwolves’ run-pass philosophy/Ryan Collingwood, VarsityCDA.com.

Question: I have a child who graduated from Coeur d'Alene High (Junior) and one who graduated from Lake City High (Amy Dearest). Anyone else with split loyalties between the two Lake City highs?
