Rivalries
editThe primary rival of CHS is Lake City, the second high school in the city which opened 30 years ago in 1994 and draws from the south and west areas of the school district. Other 5A schools in north Idaho include nearby Post Falls (5A since 2006) to the west, and Lewiston, 120 miles (190 km) to the south. All four are members of the Inland Empire League (5A).
Ninety miles (140 km) to the south on the Palouse, Moscow was a longtime rival of CDA in the IEL until it dropped to A-2 in 1979 and is now in Class 4A.[6] Sandpoint to the north was a traditional IEL rival, but is also now in 4A.
A long distance from the majority of 5A teams in southern Idaho, the Greater Spokane League in nearby Spokane County provides a number of large-school opponents for the Vikings.
