Here's a feature story on the 1959 Kellogg boys basketball team's state championship that appeared in the Handle Extra on Sunday.

Here's a link to the radio broadcast of the '59 title game played at North Idaho College in Coeur d'Alene.

Also in the Handle Extra, here's a look at the Coeur d'Alene, Lake City, Post Falls, Lakeland, Timberlake, Coeur d'Alene Charter and Sandpoint boys and girls track teams. 

In the picture above, is the 1959 Kellogg boys basketball team being honored as 'Legends of the Game' at the 2009 state boys basketball tournament earlier this month.
