16th annual TerHark Cup tonight

COEUR d'ALENE - The 16th annual TerHark Cup wrestling match between city rivals Coeur d'Alene and Lake City is scheduled to unfold tonight at 6:30 at Lake City.

Coeur d'Alene leads the series 9-6, and has won the last eight meetings, including a 63-18 triumph last year at home.

"There's no question they're going to be the team to beat, ranked (No. 4) in the state (5A)," third-year Lake City coach Corey Owen said of Coeur d'Alene. "They're a great team; I think were going to be a lot closer in every match than we have been."
