EASTERN IDAHO – East Idaho teams won four state titles last year.

Is it too early in the season to talk about repeat winners?

Nope.

Rigby, defending 6A champion, is 3-0 with an impressive win over state rival Coeur d’Alene, and then back-to-back wins over Utah teams Woods Cross and Syracuse in dramatic fashion.

In 5A, Hillcrest is 2-0, with wins over 6A Madison and a convincing win over Bonneville in last week’s Civil War rivalry game.

Sugar-Salem continues to dominate 4A and even added a 5A win last week with a 28-14 win over former rival Shelley to improve to 3-0.

The most competitive classification last season was 3A, especially in east Idaho, where West Side held off conference foes from the South East Idaho Conference and the Nuclear Conference to win the state title.
