Lewis-Clark State College and the Warrior Athletic Association will host the fifth annual WAA High School Awards Dinner on Oct. 12. This event brings area high schools and communities together and serves as a great way to congratulate and encourage regional high school athletes and teams on their efforts and accomplishments.

Area high schools, ranging from Pomeroy to Kamiah, etc., have submitted their nominations for:

Female Athlete of the Year

Team of the Year

Coach of the Year

Meritorious Award

In Sept., these nominations, submitted by each school’s athletic director, will be announced. Out of these nominations, finalists will be picked by officials from Lewis-Clark State College, the Warrior Athletic Association, and area high school sports enthusiasts. The WAA High School Awards Dinner in October will be the culmination of this event, where one overall winner in each category will be announced.

Tickets for the banquet are $25 per person and can be purchased from the LCSC Athletic Ticket Office, located upstairs in the Activity Center.
