COEUR d'ALENE — Three classifications comprise Idaho High School Activities Association girls soccer.

Two of its three state championship trophies from Saturday's title matches rest in Coeur d'Alene, one-and-a-half miles apart.

Six Lake City High School seniors collectively rang the school's heavy, iron bell Monday in front of their student body at an assembly, signaling the team's second 5A title in five years.

A quick jaunt south on Ramsey and a left at Kathleen found a Coeur d'Alene Charter program five years removed from its genesis gripping its second 3A state championship trophy in three years.

Since the IHSAA began governing state soccer tournaments in 2000, Kootenai County owns five girls titles, four belonging to Lake City and Charter in a half-decade window.

They're aware of the significance.

"We're kind of underrated, almost. We're coming under the radar, so it's awesome to show ourselves and show our worth," said senior Havana Johnson, who is headed to NCAA Division I McNeese State. "Because it is so much easier for the Boise kids to be recognized always being down in Boise. Everybody knows about the Boise people, but we aren't really as known, and when we're able to take it all like that, it's super awesome."

If 4A power Sandpoint wasn't tripped up by Bishop Kelly in the 4A title round in Idaho Falls, it would have been a North Idaho sweep.

"With all the teams making it to state and going to the championship, it was something that hasn't really happened for awhile," Charter senior Brookyln Cunningham said. "So it was cool to see North Idaho stepping up a little bit."

Lake City had the good fortune of playing its state tournament in Coeur d'Alene, where it bested Highland and defending champion Centennial (which clipped the Timberwolves in last year's final) before downing Rocky Mountain in a 5-4 classic of a shootout to capture the 5A crown.

Sophomore Chloe Teets scored the winning goal in penalty kicks and the Timberwolves (14-3-2) had the rare opportunity of hoisting a title banner in front of their home contingent.

Matt Ruchti, Lake City's 14th-year coach, relished his program's hometown celebration, both Saturday and during Monday's pep assembly.

"Obviously playing at home and having the student body support, being able to get out there and brave the weather, it was pretty impressive," Ruchti said. "I definitely think it played a role in our success. Any time you can win things like that in your hometown, your home fans being able to share it with you, it's a pretty powerful moment."

A year ago, Charter head coach Stacy Smith was on Ruchti's staff at Lake City before taking over a Panthers program former coach David Baxter built from scratch in 2012. Smith took over a senior-laden team which downed Filer and Weiser before clipping Community School 2-1 in the championship round in Twin Falls on Saturday.

Cunningham scored both goals in the title game, her second coming in the final six minutes to break a 1-1 deadlock. Like Lake City, Charter (16-3-1) also lost in last year's championship match.

"What these girls have been able to accomplish this year, not just being dominant in their league, but killing it at state with all their hard work against some talented teams, I am still shocked. It's been surreal," Smith said.

For Charter senior Natalie Goetz, delivering after reaching a third-straight 3A state championship game was about proving her decorated school's laurels go beyond academia.

"It's just a huge accomplishment for this program," Goetz said. "And to be able to prove to the schools in our area that we're not just scholastic but also competitors and just as athletic."
