CHS Viks Win 5A State BB Title

NAMPA -- After three years of close calls and heartbreak, the Coeur d’Alene girls basketball team’s senior class was fixated on winning the ultimate prize. Mission accomplished. Coeur d’Alene’s five senior starters played all but the final 1.1 seconds and dominated the fourth quarter as the Vikings defeated Rocky Mountain 58-47 in the 5A State final at the Ford Idaho Center. “These kids have worked so hard for so many years,” said coach Dale Poffenroth, who has led the Vikings to four of the past seven State 5A titles. “I’m pretty proud of them, especially the five starters to be able to play the whole game and finish the way they did.” Senior post Sydney Williams led Coeur d’Alene with 23 points – including 19 in the second half – but the Vikings got big contributions from all five starters. Madison Sumner scored 14 points, Sara Chalich chipped in 11, Brittany Tackett pulled down 11 rebounds and Sydni Parker dished out seven assists/Jordan Rodriquez, special to SR.
