All about the journey — Four Coeur d’Alene High seniors, longtime basketball teammates, help Vikings qualify for state for first time since 2012
“I just remember Keith (Orchard), Logan’s dad, and Ryan (Nipp, Trey’s dad and a former Viking assistant coach), they would always say, ‘You guys have potential,’” Coeur d'Alene senior Gunner Larson said. “They would always tell us, ‘Work hard now so you can go to state when you’re at CHS.’ And I always remembered that. It seemed like a joke at the time, something that wasn’t really relevant, but then, our JV year, they told us the same thing, and we just finally did it.”
