* TRACK AND FIELD
BOISE - The Lake City boys set school records in the 4x100- and 4x200-meter relays Friday night, helping the Timberwolves edge Mountain View High of Meridian for the team championship at the Pulse Invitational at Centennial High.
The Lake City 4x100 team of Rhet Damschen, Nathan Newby, Rikki McCaw and Chris Baker finished in 42.92 seconds, and the 4x200 team of Jerry Louie-McGee, Newby, McCaw and Baker won in 1:28.1.
Lake City junior Kyler Little closed a 30-meter deficit in the final 200 to win the 3,200 in 9:42, and was second in the 1,600 in 4:26.3. Quinn Mitchell was second in the discus with a throw of 141 feet, 7 inches. Baker finished third in the 200 in 22.59.
"It was an absolutely phenomenal effort by the boys team," Lake City coach Kelly Reed said. "To travel down here 8 1/2 hours, and get that kind of performance was great. To come down here and put forth that kind of effort is encouraging for the next five weeks."
Lake City finished with 82.5 points, followed by Mountain View with 79 in the 20-team meet. Eagle won the girls meet. Lake City was 12th out of 17 teams.

"Any questions you had, he'd have the answer," Delbridge added. "He was a PR man - and really good at it. He made sure the people were in the right places to do the right job."
And you knew he appreciated everything you did to help him out.
"He was very complimentary, appreciated of the all the work that I and the other workers did," Delbridge said. "You'd always get a pat on the back, and you knew it meant something."
Often times, the room was packed for whatever he was doing that night.
"If he does something, it's big," Delbridge said. "He's got a way with people. He can call them up and get them to help out. One year, we needed money for the Elks, so he contact past members and college graduates that were a little well off. He had a way to raise money, and knew how to get it, and nobody got offended with it. If he asked, it was always sincere."
WHETHER IT was helping set up tables for the Hoop Shoot, banquets or just showing up to give him a hand, when "Doc" called, I listened.
Still do.
Often times as a kid, once we'd completed setting up tables for an event, he'd take me up to the Silver Corner Bar and Grill in Wallace for a hamburger and a soda.
Later, when he needed to get information into the paper for the Wallace Hall of Fame, we'd meet for - you guessed it - a burger and soda.
Last year, on what turned out to be a colder than normal spring day, I saw "Doc" at the state 5A softball tournament at Ramsey Park in Coeur d'Alene, just a few minutes before the first pitch of a semifinal game between Lake City and Coeur d'Alene.
When he asked if I had another coat in the car to keep him warm, I didn't ask questions. I just got him one.
If you're looking for him tonight, he'll be easy to find.
He'll be the guy, smiling, laughing and enjoying his Hall of Fame moment.
In that same ol' pink coat that has been about as big of legend as the man wearing it.
"It's well deserved," Delbridge said. "He put a lot of time and effort into recognizing others. It's great."

The leader on the ground was senior Kristoffer Olugbode with 200 yards on 23 carries. Jerrel Brown, also a senior, had 30 carries for 90 yards.
While it took a while for the defense to get rolling, Petrino saw some things he liked as the scrimmage progressed.
"I thought the second half was pretty even," he said. "That's what you want to see. We made some strides. They're definitely improved."
Defensively, newcomer Irving Steele had 18 tackles from his linebacker position and junior Jayshawn Jordan had 18 at cornerback. Sophomore lineman Zach Cable had three sacks and a total four tackles for loss.
"Overall, walking off the field," Petrino said, "I felt good. We have some guys who are really playing hard. There was a lot of hitting; a lot of big-time plays. We're a lot better now. We have two more weeks to get even better."
