Lee: CdA Viks Strong Again

Perhaps the best team in the region is defending Idaho 5A champ Coeur d’Alene (3-0). I’ll get a chance to see the Vikings on Saturday when they play a talented Whitney (Calif.) team, 2-0, at the Kibbie Dome in Moscow at 8. Billed the Idaho Classic, Lake City and Highland of Pocatello also play California schools. Lake City (2-1) takes on Rio Linda (1-1) at 5. Whitney features two prized players in quarterback Jake Rodrigues (6-3, 209) and tight end Jalen Cope-Fitzpatrick (6-5, 236). Rodrigues has given an oral commitment to Oregon and Cope-Fitzpatrick is headed to USC. Whitney will have to defend a solid quarterback in CdA’s Chad Chalich (pictured last year passing the Viks to the state championship against Centennial), who is ahead of last year’s record-setting pace. He’s thrown for 901 yards, completing 63 of 82 passes (.768) and eight touchdowns/ Greg Lee , SR. More here.

Question: Do you plan to attend a high school football game this season?
