High School Sports Feature: CDA comes home with the championship

The Couer D'Alene High School Girl's basketball team continues the excellence. They just won their seventh state championship which is tops in the 5A classification.

NAMPA, Idaho – Whitney Heleker needed all the air that she normally places under her high-arcing shots as the clock wound down.

If she didn’t put as much arc on what turned out to be the game-winning shot, it may not have made it to the backboard.

With the game tied, the Coeur d’Alene High senior banked in a 23-foot shot as the Vikings rallied to knock off Centennial 54-50 in overtime in the State 5A girls basketball championship game before an estimated crowd of 3,000 at the Idaho Center in a battle of undefeated teams.

Sounds like a fun game to be at. With Spokane's Lewis and Clark High School being ever dominant in 4A basketball and Coeur D'Alene doing the same in 5A in Idaho, it seems that the Inland Northwest has quite a few solid girls squads in the area. Read the full story on the Spokesman's website.
