fter a tough 2020 season, the Potlatch High School football team has more experience coming back than it’s had in the past. The Loggers finished 1-6 last year, had new faces at
most of the positions, and went through some growing pains as a result. This year, Potlatch has 15 of its 16 starters back in the mix. “We’re much improved from last year in experience level,” fourth-year coach Ryan Ball said. “The key will be to get them to be more confident
