Football

Hout hired: Lake City hired former LC and Boise State player Byron Hout as its new football coach, announced by athletic director Troy Anderson. Hout replaces Brian Fulp, who coached the Timberwolves for five seasons, finishing with a 14-31 overall record.

"There was a lot of interest in this position, however Byron proved to be the right hire for the future and culture we want to build at Lake City High School."

Hout was appointed director of football operations at Idaho State in May. He has coached at Montana State and was a graduate assistant at Boise State and Washington State. He played at BSU in 2008-11 and was a two-year starter.
