The high-flying Coeur d'Alene Vikings are ranked No. 1 in 5A in the state, but are not atop their own 5A Inland Empire League.

But that's because Coeur d'Alene has yet to play a league game - which is something the Vikings will rectify tonight, when they play host to Lewiston at 7 p.m. in their homecoming game.

Coeur d'Alene is 6-0, and is winning by an average of 41.5 points per game. Lewiston is 4-3 overall, losing twice to Lake City and once to Post Falls.

"We're 0-0 in league now," Coeur d'Alene coach Shawn Amos said. "Now it's important and our record doesn't matter. We need to start winning some ballgames. We're excited to get a league game finally."

In its 31-28 loss at Lake City last week, Lewiston did most of its damage through the air, with junior Cole Zacha passing for 269 yards and three touchdowns.

Other games:

Lakeland (4-3) at Sandpoint (1-5): It’s the 4A IEL opener for both teams, but will probably go a long way toward determining the league’s lone representative in the state playoffs.

Lakeland last made it to the state playoffs in 2007, sparked by a 28-26 victory at Sandpoint.

The teams have played three common opponents this season. Lakeland beat East Valley 31-17, and Sandpoint lost to East Valley 37-13. Both lost to West Valley and Post Falls.

Lake City (3-3) at Wenatchee (4-2): The Panthers, 2-2 in the 4A Big Nine, are coming off a 24-0 loss to Richland in which they committed six turnovers — four in the second half. Last year, Lake City rushed for more than 300 yards in a 46-18 victory over Wenatchee at home.

Three weeks ago, Wenatchee beat Moses Lake 51-26. Moses Lake lost to Coeur d’Alene 32-14 last month at CenturyLink Field in Seattle.

Riverside (3-3) at St. Maries (1-6): Both teams have played Medical Lake and Freeman, with Riverside beating Medical Lake, and St. Maries losing to both. Riverside lost 17-6 to Intermountain League-leading Timberlake in its season opener.

Moscow (3-3) at Timberlake (4-2): Moscow has already played two IML teams, beating Priest River 42-0 and losing at Bonners Ferry 14-7. Timberlake is coming off IML wins over Priest River (63-6) and St. Maries (72-12).

Post Falls (6-1, 1-0 5A Inland Empire League) is idle this week, and travels to Coeur d’Alene next Friday in a key 5A IEL game.

Lakeside is idle this week, after Mullan forfeited today’s game a few weeks back because of a shortage of players. Lakeside (6-1, 5-1 North Star League) plays host to Wallace next Friday in a key 1A Division I league game.

Kootenai (2-5, 2-4) also has a bye, and plays host to Mullan next Friday.

Also, Clark Fork has forfeited today’s North Star League game at Wallace due to a shortage of players.
