Rosalia’s boys gun for state crown

What does a 22-0 record and the No. 1 ranking in the state mean to the Rosalia boys basketball team? It means Rosalia wants to finish what it has started.

Spartans pull away in fourth quarter

NAMPA, Idaho – Gary Stewart couldn’t contain his emotions. So the Priest River girls basketball coach stepped out of the way and asked assistant coach Katie Bodecker to introduce the Spartans after they captured the school’s first state championship in a team sport Saturday.
Sports

Vikings capture third straight state crown

NAMPA, Idaho – In the decorated trophy-gobbling run that is Coeur d’Alene High girls basketball, another star was born at the 2010 State 5A tournament. It’s a good thing, too, because had freshman Caelyn Orlandi not stepped up Saturday, Coeur d’Alene wouldn’t have captured a third consecutive championship.

All-IEL finale

NAMPA, Idaho – If the Coeur d’Alene High girls basketball team had a true point guard, perhaps it would win the State 5A championship going away. Ball handling has been the Vikings’ Achilles’ heel this season, but they’ve managed to get by with a guard-by-committee approach.

Vikings take state opener

The Coeur d’Alene High girls basketball team followed a similar pattern Thursday in its State 5A tournament opener at Nampa. The Vikings showed glimpses of brilliance coupled with, to borrow a term from coach Dale Poffenroth, stretches of stupidity and foul trouble.

It had been a while since the Coeur d’Alene girls basketball team played well. So if last Friday is any indication, Coeur d’Alene most definitely will challenge for the 5A state championship when the tournament begins today at the Idaho Center in Nampa. The Vikings, who have played in four consecutive state finals, will be seeking a third straight title.

Panthers prevail

Mead girls basketball coach Regan Drew wrote down a succinct message on her clipboard Tuesday before her team’s District 8 4A tournament game at Central Valley. It said: “Defense starts it all.”

CdA gives PF room for doubt

The easy answer would be that the Post Falls boys basketball team didn’t have anything to play for Saturday. The Trojans, after all, had the 5A Inland Empire League championship secured along with the No. 1 seed to the regional tournament.

CdA earns state berth

The Coeur d’Alene girls basketball team looked like a chip off the old block Friday. And that could be bad news for the rest of the state.

Defense helps CV capture crown

Execution broke down at times and the usual shots wouldn’t fall. In other words, postseason tension arrived a little early in Greater Spokane League girls basketball Thursday. Both Central Valley and Mead served up stingy defense, but the Bears’ was a smidge better.
