The Coeur d’Alene boys and girls basketball teams turned the Fight for the Fish spirit doubleheader into routs Friday. And both did it with defense. The Coeur d’Alene boys and girls held their crosstown rivals to 31 points. The Viking boys outmanned the Timberwolves 55-31 and the Viking girls put a similar hurt on LC 51-31 in Inland Empire League games at Elmer Jordan Court. The only consolation for LC is it took home the wooden 32-inch Rainbow Trout, the trophy for displaying the most spirit/ Greg Lee , SR. More here.

Question: Would you rather have your high school win the basketball games or the sportsmanship trophy in the annual Battle for the Fish in Coeur d’Alene?
