Kootenai, Lakeside team up for spirit competition

Much in the spirit to the Fight for the Fish or the Battle for the Prairie Pig, Kootenai and Lakeside have scheduled a spirit competition as part of their boys and girls basketball games Jan. 21 in Plummer.

They are calling it the Battle on the Trail, with the girls varsity game at 4 p.m. and the boys varsity game at 5:30.

The winner will receive a golden bike wheel to display at their school.

Tickets will be pre-sold at each school; any leftover tickets will be sold at the door.

Tickets can be purchased at either high school office. The cost is $4 for students and $5 for adults. No family passes or ASB cards will be accepted.

Also, each school will be fundraising for their own charity. Kootenai will be doing a canned food drive and Lakeside will be collecting donations for the Make-A-Wish foundation. Any donations will be appreciated.
