The high school football season for local teams is scheduled to begin today ... or Saturday ... or, if air quality doesn't improve, maybe not until next week.

Four games - involving Coeur d'Alene, Lake City, Post Falls and St. Maries - were rescheduled for the Kibbie Dome in Moscow, while school officials will roll the dice on decent air quality for three other games - at Lakeland, Lakeside and Timberlake.

Kootenai is idle, and is scheduled to open next Friday at home vs. Clark Fork.

All four games involving local teams at the Kibbie Dome - Coeur d'Alene vs. Skyline, and Lake City vs. Rocky Mountain on Friday, and St. Maries vs. Kellogg, and Post Falls vs. Sandpoint on Saturday - are slated to be webcast on idahosports.com.

All told, seven games were rescheduled for the Kibbie Dome this weekend - including Genesee vs. Kendrick on Thursday night, Moscow vs. Grangeville tonight at 8, and Deary vs. Potlatch on Saturday at 2 p.m.

Skyline vs. Coeur d'Alene: Coeur d'Alene won last year's meeting, 26-13 in Idaho Falls, and went on to finish 7-4, bowing out in the state 5A quarterfinals. Skyline went on to finish 5-5, losing at Capital in the first round of the state playoffs.

Rocky Mountain vs. Lake City: Rocky beat Lake City 39-37 last year in a wild season opener in Meridian.

Lake City is in rebuilding mode after going 9-2 last season and reaching the state 5A semifinals. Rocky Mountain went 8-3 and also reached the state semis, losing to eventual champion Highland of Pocatello.

Rocky is picked to win its six-team pod in the 12-team 5A Southern Idaho Conference. The Grizzlies return Jake Roper, a first-team All-Idaho running back last year, and quarterback Christian Blaser.

Lewiston at Lakeland: Lewiston has 40 returning lettermen, including 18 starters, one of them quarterback Colton Richardson. Lakeland has zero of each. Lakeland went 7-3 last year, including a 24-10 victory at Lewiston in the season opener, and reached the quarterfinals of the state 4A playoffs. Lewiston went 1-8 last year.

Lewis County at Lakeside: In a coaches poll of White Star League teams conducted by the Lewiston Tribune, Lewis County and Lakeside finished in a tie for fourth. The teams meet twice this season; this one is a nonleague game. Lakeside won last year's matchup 48-17 in Plummer.

Sandpoint vs. Post Falls: This could be one of the most entertaining openers of the weekend. Post Falls won last year's opener 42-39 in Sandpoint, and both teams went on reach the state playoffs - Post Falls (5-5 last year) for the first time since 2004, where the Trojans fell in the first round; Sandpoint (6-5 in 2014) advanced as far as the quarterfinals.

Sandpoint senior running back Kyle Perry rushed for 1,535 yards last season and scored a total of 27 touchdowns, and has been offered by the University of Idaho.

Frenchtown (Mont.) at Timberlake: Timberlake won last year's matchup 48-27 at Washington-Grizzly Stadium in Missoula.

This year's game has had two time changes and nearly a change of sites - Timberlake had reserved the Kibbie Dome for a Saturday night kickoff, before deciding to play the game at home in Spirit Lake. The original 7 p.m. kickoff time was changed to noon, then changed again to 5 p.m.

St. Maries vs. Kellogg: 2A St. Maries beat 3A Kellogg twice last season, 41-0 and 26-18. St. Maries went on to finish 6-4, won a state playoff game for the first time since 1987, and reached the state quarterfinals. Kellogg finished 2-7.
