Prep football
Times and dates have been set for semifinal high school playoff games in Idaho this weekend.
Lakeside (9-1) will collide with defending state champion Deary (9-0) Friday at 7 p.m. in the Kibbie Dome in an A-4 eight-man game.
In A-1 Division II, Lewiston (10-0) entertains Eagle (9-1) at 7 on Friday.
College golf
Don Rasmussen is returning as head golf coach at the University of Idaho after a brief hiatus.
Rasmussen, who coached the Vandals for two years until this last August, has been the head professional at the University of Idaho Golf Course after relinquishing his coaching duties in late summer.
Athletic director Oval Jaynes brought Rasmussen back to replace Dan Koesters, who left Idaho to coach at Washington State.
“The No. 1 reason I hired him is Don is very familiar with our golf program, our players and the university,” Jaynes said. “He also has experience as a head professional and contacts in the collegiate ranks to help make our transition to the Big West Conference a smooth one.”
Rasmussen will continue to be the University course’s head professional, although he no longer will be responsible for its daily operations.
College volleyball
Sarah Silvernail finally did it. She attracted national recognition.
Silvernail, Washington State’s 6-foot-1 senior middle blocker, is the American Volleyball Coaches Association national player of the week at the Division I level.
In leading the 11th-ranked Cougars past No. 23 UCLA and No. 12 Southern California last weekend in Pullman, she also earned her third Pacific-10 Conference player of the week award this season - and second in three weeks.
It’s the sixth time in her illustrious career that Silvernail has earned a weekly conference honor, tying her for second place in career conference awards with former three-time All-American Daiva Tomkus of UCLA.
For the week, Silvernail hit .405 with 55 kills, 19 digs, 15 blocks, three aces and two assists despite playing with a pulled ligament in her lower back as WSU improved to 21-4, 12-3.
