STATE 1A DIVISION I CHAMPIONSHIP: 'It means more' ... Lakeside finishes it in overtime for second title in four years

“I didn’t even sleep last night; it was crazy; last night, I couldn’t sleep at all,” said Lakeside coach James Twoteeth, who guided the Knights to a state 1A Division II title in 2020, and played on the Knights’ 1997 state A-4 champs. “This is the biggest one. Plummer and Lapwai, they go way back, to when we’d play in Indian tournaments. To win this game and to snap their streak, this is huge. This is huge to our community, people are texting me — ‘dude, this is bigger than our 2020 team. My son (Talon) texted me, ‘this is bigger than we won.’”
