They call it Maverick, and Lake City defensive backs are taught to jump a route whenever they see the quarterback’s eyes. That’s what Timberwolves junior Scott Helsper did, intercepting Coeur d’Alene quarterback Austin Lee on the first possession in overtime. Then after Lake City got within one inch of the goal line on fourth down, the Timberwolves brought reliable field goal kicker Casey Bourque out. A false start and a delay moved Lake City back, but Bourque sent through his second game winner of the season, this time from 27 yards, as the visiting Timberwolves upset defending State 5A champion Coeur d’Alene 45-42 in an Inland Empire League 5A football game Friday/ Greg Lee , SR.
