[edit] Lakeside Knight Football
The Lakeside Knights football team has been the pride of the Plummer/Worley area for more than 50 years. The Lakeside Knights football team plays in the 1A Eight-Man football conference of the IHSAA. In 2004, the IHSAA created two divisions in the 1A Eight-Man conference. Any school that has more than 100 students in the 1A conference was considered Big School. Any school that has less than 100 students in the 1A conference was considered Small School. Lakeside, along with Wallace, broke off from the rest of the North Star League to create the 1A Eight-Man Big School Division of the North Star League. Subsequently, Clarfork, Kootenai, and Mullan formed 1A Eight-Man Small School Division of the North Star League. Coeur d'Alene Charter Academy does not participate in football. The Knights usually vie for one of the two spots the state gives to the North Star Conference (one for big schools and one for small schools). Lakeside's last visit to the state playoffs was 2001 where it was ousted in the first round by the Notus Pirates.
