Athletics

Booth Hall, gymnasium building, 2016

Lewiston competes in IHSAA Class 5A with the largest schools in the state, and its conference is the Inland Empire League (5A) with Coeur d'Alene, Lake City, and Post Falls; all about two hours north in Kootenai County. Lewiston has long-term rivalries with adjacent Clarkston[3] and also with Moscow,[4][5][6] about 30 miles (50 km) north on the nearby Palouse. The football rivalry with Clarkston started 118 years ago in 1906,[3] and was formerly played on Thanksgiving day.[7]

The origin and first use of "Bengal" as the mascot is not precisely known, but the local newspaper used it for the LHS basketball team in early 1925.[8][9] With a compact campus that opened 96 years ago in 1928,[1][10] LHS athletics are conducted at various venues in the city.[11]
