Vik QB Wins 5A Player Of Year Honors

It only took Chad Chalich one season to coax enough votes out of Idaho’s 5A football coaches to earn player of the year honors. He hopes to validate those votes next season. “I have another year to prove that I deserved this honor,” said Chalich, who was a backup last year. “It’s exciting.” Coeur d’Alene coach Shawn Amos said the junior quarterback set single-season school records for total offense (3,385 yards), passing yards (2,844), completions (209), passing touchdowns (32) and scoring (232, 192 from passing TDs). He tied a single-game school record with five touchdown passes against Sandpoint on Sept. 24/Jesse Zentz, Idaho Statesman. More here.
