FRIDAY

Coeur d'Alene's seven-run fourth inning pushed it past Highland 13-6 on Friday in the first round of the 5A state tournament at Post Falls High School.
The Rams led 4-3 through three frames, but couldn't catch up after the Vikings' big inning. Roni Bosquez and Jordan Frasure each hit a home run for Highland.
