8-20-07

The first Warrior Athletic Association High School Awards Banquet, which will honor outstanding athletes for the 2006-07 school year in north central Idaho and southeastern Washington, will be held Oct. 17 at the Lewis-Clark State College Activity Center. 

The top Male, Female, Coach, and Team of the Year from each high school will be honored during the evening. There are four finalists for each award and the award winners will be announced during the evening. The winners will each receive a plaque. 

The event, which is being put on by the Warrior Athletic Association, features schools as far west as Pomeroy, north as Colfax and Potlatch, and east as Kooskia and Grangeville. 

Tickets for the banquet are $25 per person and will go on sale in September and the event will be the first of its kind in the Activity Center. 

The event serves as a fundraiser for the WAA and also recognizes the outstanding high school athletes in the area. The WAA is planning to make this an annual event. 

Major sponsors of the event include Tyler-Kelly Motors, Gear Athletic, Lewiston Orthopaedic Associates, and Potlatch #1 Federal Credit Union.
