“I’m so proud of our guys,” Coeur d'Alene senior linebacker Shea Robertson said. “To make it to the state championship was awesome. I would have been happy just making it to the state playoffs after last year, but to go all the way to the state finals is a dream come true. The only thing that would have made the season better is if we had won it.”
“We have to finish the deal,” Eck said. “It will be a lot better feeling going into Selection Sunday, getting that eighth win, (then) I think we’re for sure in. I don’t want to be on the bubble; I don’t want to be hoping your name pops up, like it was last year. It’s a lot better feeling, trying to figure out where you’re going, or if you’re at home.”

“We obviously have a long tradition of respectful competition with Highland,” said Shawn Amos, in his 27th season as Coeur d’Alene coach. “When we first started a long time ago, Highland was the program we were trying to emulate. We wanted to be a consistent presence in the state, so that was our goal, and Highland was the program that has done that.”
