In last Saturday’s state 5A girls basketball championship game, the latest chapter between Coeur d’Alene and Lake City’s programs didn’t disappoint.
That is, if you’re residing up north.
“I knew it was going to be back to back,” fifth-year Coeur d'Alene coach Nicole Symons said. “I don’t think they played well the last time we played them, but they played great the first two games of the tournament. I told the girls we’d better be ready and they’ve got weapons everywhere. We took away (Avery) Waddington, but KaLiah (Frazey) stepped up big time tonight."
“It’s wild,” Lake City senior Kamryn Pickford said. “We’ve been working for this our entire high school career. It’s exciting to be in the championship game.”
“When Cooper (a 6-3 guard) committed on his visit, I looked into it a little more,” Cobi Campbell said. “The more I looked into it, the more it became an easy decision. If it’s a good enough spot for him, then it’s a good enough spot for me.”
