PREP GIRLS BASKETBALL: For the family ... Symons, Coeur d'Alene High girls basketball coach the previous five seasons, steps down after back-to-back state 5A titles to spend more time with family
“It’s crazy how things work out,” Nicole Symons said. “You get to finish at the top of what you’re doing with a state championship, a North vs. North game for those kids, and I didn’t have any idea about the 100th win. And it couldn’t have been any better. To go out on my own terms, it was an awesome moment for those girls. Deep down, I had a feeling it was going to be the end that night. But I’ll still be there for them. I’ll just be yelling from the other side of the court.”
