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[4] and also with Moscow,[5][6][7] about thirty miles (50 km) north on the adjoining Palouse. The football rivalry with Clarkston started 118 years ago in 1906,[4] and was formerly played on Thanksgiving day.[8]
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.[9][10] With a compact campus that opened 96 years ago in 1928,[1][11][12] LHS athletics are conducted at various venues in the city.[13]
