Badgers Bounce Back For A-2 Berth

Back door, front door, side door, trap door. It didn't matter to the Bonners Ferry High School basketball team which door it opened to advance to the State A-2 Tournament.

Numbers Game Goes Off Scale In Trojan Gym

Here are some random thoughts as the winter sports season rapidly approaches the finish line: Not everybody who wanted to watch the Post Falls-Lake City basketball showdown last Saturday in the A-1 Region I championship game at Post Falls had the opportunity.

Kerns Gets Nod As Iel’s, State’s Mvp

North Idaho high school girls basketball teams provided many special moments this season. The teams that qualified for state - and some that didn't - did the area proud. So we say farewell with our season-ending awards, by league: Inland Empire

Post Falls, Lake City Likely To Meet In Region 1 Final But Sandpoint, Lewiston Could Cause Trouble In Battle For State Berths

If play goes according to seed, the Post Falls and Lake City boys' basketball teams should advance to the A-1 Region I Tournament championship game Saturday. But Inland Empire League coaches warn that the regional tourney could be as topsy-turvy as league. "You can't count any of the teams out," Lewiston coach Dick Richel said. "You can make a case for any team pulling an upset."

So What’s The Comparison? Two State Titles Instead Of One

Yes. No. Maybe. We don't know. The question had to be asked. Is coach Dave Fealko's Lake City High School girls basketball team, with three starters and two key reserves off the 1993-94 State A-1 campion Coeur d'Alene Vikings, better than the coach's final CdA team?

Bonners Ferry Wealth Of Talent Spans All Classes

Playoffs notebook The Bonners Ferry High School girls basketball team's future already has shined in the opening rounds of the State A-2 Tournament. With two tournament wins - Friday against Sugar-Salem and Thursday against Kuna, it's one win away from a state title. First-year coach Jim Nash inherited a veteran team from Dan Meeker, a team dead set on winning a state title this year.

Wolves Whack Broncos Backup Point Guard Katie Hatrock Shoots Lake City Into A-1 Title Game

Katie Hatrock, a reserve sophomore point guard, is the primary reason the Lake City High School girls basketball team advanced to tonight's State A-1 championship game. When the Timberwolves' usual offensive weapons disappeared Friday, the 5-foot-4 Hatrock stepped behind the 3-point line as Lake City eventually pulled away to a 56-33 semifinal victory over the Blackfoot Broncos.

Post Falls Charges By Cda

Post Falls wanted a track-meet pace, but the Trojans had trouble getting their steps down when Coeur d'Alene threw a few hurdles in their path. The Trojans finally got untracked in the fourth quarter, sprinting away from the slowed, tired Vikings 78-56 in an Inland Empire League boys basketball game Saturday at Viking Gym.

Iel Boys Basketball Race A Wild Affair

Boys basketball in the Inland Empire League has been off the chart this season. There's a three-way tie for first place. Lake City, Lewiston and Post Falls are 3-2 with three games remaining. They've each had narrow wins and losses. They've each had blowout wins and losses. They've each suffered a loss that could come back to haunt them.

Ihsaa Wants To Fix What Doesn’t Look Broken

In my 10-1/2 years of covering high school athletics in Idaho, I've watched the state high school activities association make some brilliant decisions in the best interest of the student-athletes it serves. Landing the United Dairymen as a major underwriter/sponsor of state tournaments was a fabulous coup. Developing the Youth Endowment for Activities Fund, which some day will cover the travel expenses for all schools to state activities, was a well thought-out decision.
