Viking named Gatorade Idaho Player of the Year

Coeur d'Alene High quarterback Chad Chalich has been named Gatorade Idaho Football Player of the Year.

Last weekend, Chalich gave Robb Akey a verbal commitment that he would play for the Vandals.

Chalich, who was offered the full-ride scholarship by Akey three weeks ago, had offers to walk on at Boise State and Utah. Montana was also interested.
