RATHDRUM – The Wright brothers – Seth, Nate and Nick – are wrestling for their late father. Three years ago this April, Jesse Wright and his 16-year-old daughter, Keriann, were killed in a car accident. Nate and Nick were seriously injured in the crash along Highway 53 near Rathdrum.

CdA girls secure share of title

Neither a box-and-one defense nor illnesses that slowed down a pair of starters could handcuff the No. 1-ranked Coeur d’Alene girls basketball Friday. The defending 5A state champion Vikings secured no worse than a share of the Inland Empire League championship with a 55-37 win over Post Falls at The Arena.
