Timberlake High to

offer boys soccer this fall

The Lakeland School District Board of Trustees approved the formation of a boys' soccer program at Timberlake High in Spirit Lake, beginning this fall.

"We have surveyed our students the past seven years and have not had the interest to pursue seeking board approval," Timberlake athletic director Tim Cronnelly said. "But we are confident that we have the numbers and commitment to start this program."

Timberlake will compete in the 3A District 1-2 with Intermountain League schools Bonners Ferry and Priest River, as well as Central Idaho League teams from St. Maries and Orofino. There is no 2A classification for soccer.

The school is also looking for coaching candidates. Information: Tim Cronnelly (208) 623-6303 or apply online at www.lakeland272.org.
